Ingredients:

1	lbs	Beans, black turtle
		-- cleaned, rinsed
1	small	Onion, coarsely chopped
2	slice	Bacon OR
2	slice	Pancetta
1	quart	Stock, chicken OR
1	quart	Stock, duck
		2 ea Chili, Serrano, seeded
		-- finely chopped
2	tbsp	Chili, ancho, powder
1	tbsp	Cumin
2	oz	Oil, olive
		Salt (to taste)
		Pepper (to taste)

Procedures:

1	Using a heavy-bottom pot, heat 1 ounce of olive oil, add the onions and bacon and cook for 3 minutes.
2	Add the black beans and stock (just enough to cover the beans), salt, and cook until completely done.
3	Drain well.
4	Put the beans, onion, and bacon through a meat grinder or food mill to make a paste.
5	Season the paste with serrano chilies, ancho chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
6	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.
7	Heat a seasoned crepe or teflon pan and add 1 ounce of olive oil.
8	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).
9	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.
