Soybean Casserole

Let me just say that I was so excited when I found this recipe. I LOVE soybeans! I can eat them frozen right out of the bag. The shelled ones, of course. This was put into the "I definitely have to make" pile!

I wasn't sure what she meant by soaking and cooking the soybeans for 2 hours. I just used some frozen shelled beans and boiled them for about 15 minutes. I figured that was good enough.

I have to admit that I was a little disappointed in the finished product. It was too mushy for me. I think I would have preferred the soybeans to be left whole, but I'm not quite sure how it would have turned out with having eggs as a binder. Hmmm. It wasn't that bad though. Not sure I'll make this one again according to the recipe.

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Soy Bean Casserole

2 ½ cup soybeans soaked - cook 2 hours

Grind & add

3 Tbs oil

½ cup celery

1 egg

2 Tbs honey

½ cup tomato sauce

½ cup onion

bread crumbs

½ tsp sage

¼ tsp cayenne

Bake 1 hour at 375°

* I used frozen shelled soybeans and boiled them for about 15 minutes. Then I put them in my processor to grind them up, adding the oil to help thin them out a little bit.

* I combined everything and then sprinkled the bread crumbs on top to cover it all.

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
