Author Notes: Pan fried goodness! Use any beans and greens you have on hand. Easy to double, make ahead, freeze and personalize. Serve as appetizer, salad topper, sandwich or entrée. Pairs well with fresh bright flavors (tomato, cucumber, pickles, vinegar, mint, cilantro, sweet or spicy peppers, citrus, stone fruit).
Adapted from REAL SIMPLE Swiss Chard and Chickpea Fritters With Yogurt. I paired down ingredients and adjusted greens to beans ratio to make a creamier texture. —sarah wen
