Ingredients
For the Patties:
- 15 oz. canned cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 10 oz. chopped frozen spinach thawed, with as much liquid squeezed out as possible
- 1/2 yellow onion very finely diced or grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced on a microplane zester
- 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs divided
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more if needed
For the Sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Place the drained and rinsed cannellini beans in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork, leaving some intact.
- Add remaining ingredients, including the rest of the breadcrumbs, for the patties to the bowl and mix together well, using plenty of salt and pepper.
- Form 12 patties, each using just under 1/4 cup of the white bean mixture.
- Coat the patties in the remaining breadcrumbs. After forming each of them, I just pressed each side into the breadcrumbs and set them on a baking sheet until I was done.
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat and line a large plate with paper towels.
- Add the patties in batches and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy and cooked all the way through. Place on the paper towel lined plate.
- Meanwhile, mix together all ingredients for the yogurt sauce and set aside.
- Serve patties immediately with yogurt sauce, or see notes for freezer instructions.
Notes
- Money Saving Tip: Cook your own dry beans rather than using canned. I like to cook a big batch and keep them frozen in jars, then pull a jar out for recipes like these.
- After cooking the patties, you can freeze them. I recommend flash freezing them for 30 minutes on a baking sheet, then transferring them to an airtight container or zip-top freezer bag. They can be microwaved, baked, or pan-fried to reheat them when you are ready to eat them. I like to take out a couple at a time for a quick lunch for my toddler (and me!).
- The yogurt sauce can be kept up to a week in the fridge. Stir before serving, as it may get a little watery.
- You can form the patties to be double the size and serve as veggie burgers on a bun spread with the yogurt sauce, topped with baby arugula, sliced fresh tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion as an alternative.
- Or, you can make them half the size and make mini patties for an appetizer.
