Curried black bean & tofu croquettes makes 8 small
1 cup dry black beans, rinsed and cleaned
½ cup firm tofu, grated
½ small red bell pepper
½ cippolini
1/8 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 slices white bread, diced
2 eggs
1 clove garlic, minced
½ inch of ginger, grated fine
¾ tbs. Madras curry powder (yellow)
sea salt
pepper
Method: Cook beans until very tender, then remove from heat until cool to touch. Puree half of the beans and then combine all of the ingredients, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let mixture sit for 20 minutes so that all moisture is absorbed. Cook a very tiny portion so that you can check the seasoning and texture, then adjust if necessary. Scoop out into portions and either pan fry or deep fry.

My idea is to get restaurant type and quality ingredients to the home cook so that he or she can enjoy the same quality that, until now, was only available by dining out.
