Fritos de Porotos Verdes Chilean Green Bean Fritters

Ok, I’m guilty. In these ten years in the U.S., I never made these green bean fritters… the horror! They are so classic in Chile. My favorites are cauliflower, and my husband hates it, so I erase it from my mind.

Now, green bean fritters are back, and I hope they will stay on the weekly menu. These are delicious. When I was cooking, my child saw them, asked if I was making veggie burgers, and agreed to try them! As you can see, it is a relatively simple recipe. Add chopped chives or green onions and change the whole wheat flour for regular flour.

  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 of olive oil, place a generous scoop of green bean mixture in the pan, forming patties and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for 5 minutes more.
    Cooking the fritters
  4. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and continue with the rest of the mixture.

    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.

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

    Thanks!
