Instructions
You will need:
Warm a teaspoon of olive oil in a small pan. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. This quick step mellows the raw bite and sets the tone for the whole dish.
In a bowl, mash the beans with a fork until mostly smooth. Stir in the cooked garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, egg, and flour. The mixture should hold together when you press it. If it feels too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
Scoop out portions of the mixture and gently form patties with your hands. Press lightly to flatten them. The mixture will be soft, but that is what keeps the inside creamy.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Resist the urge to flip early. Let the crust form. That is where the magic happens.
These patties shine next to a simple salad, roasted vegetables, or a spoonful of pesto. I like them with arugula and quick pickled onions when I want extra tang.
