Step 1:
How to make lean bean patties? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Beans for cutlets are suitable not only canned, but also boiled. In the second case, it takes more time to prepare the dish. Rinse the dry beans and fill them with cold water, leave them to swell, ideally leave them overnight.
Step 2:
In the morning, drain the water from the dishes with beans. Rinse the beans again, pour in a fresh batch of water and put on fire. When the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and cook it for 30 minutes. At the end of cooking, add salt. Drain the water, let the beans cool.
Step 3:
Wash, peel and grate the carrots.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and finely chop it with a knife.
Step 5:
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it up. Fry carrots and onions in oil. Fry them for 10 minutes to make the carrots soft and the onions transparent. Beans are a universal product, with which many others are combined. Therefore, instead of vegetable frying, mushrooms, nuts, garlic or herbs can be used for taste.
Step 6:
Put boiled beans and roasted carrots and onions in the blender bowl, chop the ingredients to a puree. Instead of a blender, you can use a food processor or a meat grinder. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix again or punch with a blender.
Step 7:
Pour wheat flour or breadcrumbs into a plate. Put a little minced meat in flour with a tablespoon, roll the cutlets on both sides.
Step 8:
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it up. Fry the cutlets on both sides until browned, 3-4 minutes on each side is enough. Since all the ingredients in the cutlets are already ready, this dish does not require prolonged heat treatment.
Step 9:
Remove the cutlets from the pan and serve to the table as an independent dish with sauce, mayonnaise or ketchup or as a side dish with a meat supplement, for example, fried or boiled meat, chicken or fish. Bon appetit!

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
