Kidney Bean Patties with Yogurt Tahini Dressing

Here is a delicious bean dish for you all to try. I really enjoyed this one. I have to admit that the yogurt tahini dressing is not my recipe, I got it from the book Mighty Spice by John Gregory Smith (which I highly recommend). But the bean cake recipe is my original one.

When the bean patties are all cooked, serve with the yogurt tahini dressing and a nice green salad, or salad of your choice.
