five ingredient black bean croquettes

Directions

1. 1
   Pulse beans and salsa in a food processor fitted with the steel blade attachment until it forms a coarse paste.
2. 2
   Add egg, and pulse 4 to 5 times. Scrape sides and add 1 cups bread crumbs. Pulse, scraping sides as needed until incorporated but not too smooth. Divide mixture into 12 croquettes, 2 generous tablespoons each.
3. 3
   Place the remaining cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish and roll the croquettes into the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
4. 4
   Heat oil in straight-sided skillet or saucepan over medium high heat until 350 degrees F. Gently lower 6 croquettes 1 at a time into the hot oil.
5. 5
   Let cook, flipping once with a slotted spatula, until the breadcrumbs are deeply golden and the croquettes are hot all the way through, 4 to 6 minutes.
6. 6
   Remove from oil and set on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining 6 croquettes, adjusting heat to make sure oil temperature remains around 350 degrees.
7. 7
   Serve hot with salsa.
