- In a saucepan, over medium heat, add in a Tbsp. of the oil. When the oil is warm, add in the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute/fry for 2 min. Stir in 1 Tbsp. of the garlic, jalapenos and black beans. Continue to saute/fry for 1 minute. Add in the water and bay leaf. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook till the beans are tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. Remove from the heat and cold completely and strain. In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, puree 3/4 of the mix till smooth. Add in water if it becomes thick. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the processor and turn into a mixing bowl. Stir the remaining beans into the pureed beans. Season the flour, egg wash and bread crumbs with Essence. Divide the mix into eighths and form into individual rounds, about 1-inch thick. Dredge each cake in the seasoned flour.
- Dip each cake into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the cakes in the seasoned bread crumbs, coating completely. In a large saute/fry pan, over medium heat, add in the vegetable oil. When the oil is warm, but not smoking, pan-fry till crispy, about 3 to 4 min on each side. In another saute/fry pan, over medium heat, add in the remaining 2 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil. Add in the red onions and corn.
- Season with salt and pepper. Saute/fry for 4 min. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add in the shrimp to the vegetables. Continue to saute/fry for 2 min.
