Black bean patties

A quick weekday evening supper - wanted to do something with black beans.  Think their best feature is their colour, so made them into colourful, herby patties.

1 cup cooked black beans, defrosted
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chia seed, ground
2 tsp flour
pinch cayenne
1 tbsp lemon + lime juice
1 very mild red chili, chopped
1/2 a clove garlic, chopped
3 spring onions, finely sliced
handful sweetcorn, defrosted
2 tbsp coriander, chopped
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
salt+pepper
water
veg oil for cooking

Pulverise the beans with a handheld blender (try and leave them with a bit of texture).  Add the remaining ingredients, except the sweetcorn, herbs and water, and mix til well combined and a good consistency.  Add the sweetcorn and herbs, mix in, check for seasoning and add water if too dry / falling apart.  Shape into patties (about six), and fry in a tiny bit of oil in a non stick pan til browned on the sides and heated through.  Eat with rice and chutney.
