Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix salsa ingredients; set aside.
• In another large bowl, add black beans, cumin, coriander and garlic. Using potato masher or fork, mash beans until no whole beans remain. Stir in corn, onion, cilantro and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs.
• In medium bowl, add remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs. Measure 1/4 cup bean mixture at a time, and form into a ball. Roll in bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mash black beans and cumin with a fork in a large bowl until no whole beans remain. Stir in corn and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Combine tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir 1 cup of the tomato mixture into the black bean mixture.
• Mix the remaining 1/3 cup breadcrumbs, oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder in a small bowl until the breadcrumbs are coated with oil. Divide the bean mixture into 8 scant 1/2-cup balls. Lightly press each bean ball into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the croquettes until heated through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir avocado into the remaining tomato mixture. Serve the salsa with the croquettes.

• In a bowl mix together the canned salmon, mashed yuca, Sauteed shallots, roasted garlic, jalapeno pepper, grated lemon peel, minced cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill the mixture for 2 hours and then form it into 8 patties.
• Heat oil to 375 degrees.
• Beat the egg in a shallow bowl and spread out the cornmeal on a plate. Dip patties in egg and then dredge in cornmeal. Fry patties for 23 minutes, until golden brown. Then drain them on paper towels.
• To make the vinaigrette, in a bowl whisk together the garlic, fresh lime juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil in a stream, whisking. Then add the black beans, red pepper , yellow pepper , red onion, avocado, cilantro, and gently mix together.

• Form the mixture into balls, using a slightly rounded tablespoon for each one. Press one piece of mozzarella and 1 piece of tomato into the center of each and reshape into a ball. Coat with the remaining bread crumbs.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the balls until nicely browned -- it is important to keep the oil about 365 degrees. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
