Green Beans Patties, Chilean RecipeOk, I’m guilty, in these ten years in the U.S. never had made these Green Beans Fritters… the horror! They are so classic in Chile. The problem is that my favorites are cauliflower and my husband hates it, so I erase it from my mind. Now, they are back, and I hope they will stay on the weekly menu, these are delicious. My daughter saw them when I was cooking and asked if I was making veggie burgers and agree to try them! As you can see is a relatively simple recipe, you can add chopped chives or green onions and change the whole wheat flour for regular flour.

Green Beans Fritters

8 patties
Ingredients:

  • 800 grams of green beans,
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese optional
  • oil, salt, and pepper
  • chopped green onions or chives, optional

Preparation:

  1. Wash beans and pat dry. Cut the ends and chop lengthwise (french style). Boil salted water in a pot. Add the beans and cook for 3 minutes, or al dente. Drain and place in a bowl with ice water to set the color and stop the cooking. Leave 5 minutes and drain.
  2. In a bowl place cooked beans, flour, eggs, cheese, and green onions if using, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork or hands until well blended.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat, if you throw water droplets, they should dance and evaporate almost immediately. Reduce heat to medium. Add one tablespoon olive oil, and place a generous scoop of green bean mixture in the pan, forming patties and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and cook 5 minutes more.
  4. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and continue with the rest of the mixture.
  5. Serve hot or at room temperature.

    Hi!
    I tried this with “harina tostada” (toasted flour?) and with Parmesan cheese it was good!

    Thanks!

    This recipe is a fabulous way to use up an overabundance of home grown green beans in one healthy meal!!! I made it with the optional green onions but without the optional cheese. Both my husband and I loved the patties.
