GF White Bean Chive Cakes with Heirloom Tomatoes

Tweet

When you’re forced to change the way you eat, sometimes experimenting with new food is a massive failure. Other times I find my new fave meal/appetizer/travel snack, like with these white bean and chive cakes, and all the hockey pucks I’ve baked become a distant memory.

I love this inspiring recipe from Tasty Yummies (she calls them patties, I call them cakes because they make me as happy as eating cake) thrown on top of some greens, served alongside some marina sauce, atop a juicy tomato slice, or just eaten hot off the griddle. You must make sure your cornmeal for this rad dish is gluten-free, as some of them can be sneaky. But once you’ve purchased your bag of g-free cornmeal, think of all the things you can do! Oh, the cornmeal places you’ll go.

Fry it in olive oil, like this:

Shove it in your mouth, like this:

Here’s how you get a g-free delight that will turn you into a white bean & chive cake addict. You’ve been warned.
