Ingredients
Black Bean Cakes:16 oz package of dry black beans, prepared per package directions, rinsed, and drained4 Tbsp butter, softened4 Tbsp chopped cilantro4 Tbsp chopped shallots4 cloves garlic, minced2 Tbsp Creole seasoning, divided1-1/2 cup breadcrumbs, divided2 eggs, divided1/4 cup canola oil for fryingSalt and pepper, to tasteLime Spiced Mayo:1 cup soy mayonnaise1 Tbsp lime juice1 jalapeņo pepper, mincedSalt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Dry the beans as much as you can by spreading them out on paper towels. Bake on a sheet pan for 20 minutes. Cool before proceeding.

In a food processor, combine the butter, cilantro, onions, garlic, 1 Tbsp Creole seasoning (or to taste), 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Add to beans along with 1 egg. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Now would be a good time to prepare the Lime Spiced Mayo.

Form bean mixture into 10 patties. They should be slightly flatter than a hockey puck. Combine 1 egg and 2 Tbsp water in a shallow dish. Combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 Tbsp Creole seasoning (or to taste), salt, and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip each patty in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry in batches 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Serve with guacamole and Lime Spiced Mayo.

Lime Spiced Mayo:
Mix soy mayo, lime juice, jalapeņo, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
