Ingredients

1	pound	beans	black turtle, cleaned, rinsed
1	small	onion	coarsely chopped
2	slices	bacon	or pancetta
1	quart	chicken broth	or duck
2	each	serrano chiles	seeded, finely chopped
2	tablespoons	ancho powder
1	tablespoon	cumin
2	ounces	olive oil
1	x	salt	to taste
1	x	black pepper	to taste

Directions

Using a heavy-bottom pot, heat 1 ounce of olive oil, add the onions and bacon and cook for 3 minutes.

Add the black beans and stock (just enough to cover the beans), salt, and cook until completely done.

Drain well.

Put the beans, onion, and bacon through a meat grinder or food mill to make a paste.

Season the paste with Serrano chilies, Ancho chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.

Take enough of the paste to roll it into the size of a golf ball, then pound the rolled ball between waxed paper until it forms a 1/8-inch thick cake.

Heat a seasoned crepe or teflon pan and add 1 ounce of olive oil.

On high heat, cook each side of the bean cake for about 1 minute (the cake will be crisp and should slide easily in the pan when done).

Serve on a warm plate with sour cream in the center of the cake, salsa on top of the sour cream, and cilantro around the cake.
