Bean and rice pancakes
4 servings
75 minutes
Bean-rice pancakes are a blend of tradition and modern flavors. This recipe is inspired by simple rustic dishes where accessible and hearty ingredients turn into a healthy treat. Tender with a light crispy crust, they have a rich flavor thanks to black beans, caramelized onions, and spicy jalapeño. Brown rice adds texture and makes the pancakes even more nutritious. The spice of cumin highlights the natural depth of flavor, while the fresh yogurt sauce with lime and cilantro adds a refreshing touch. These pancakes are perfect for a light lunch or snack and can be served as a standalone dish or alongside vegetables and salads.
