I made this up one day while reading several cookbooks, taking some of this and some of that and a bit of trial and error. I was trying to come up with a way to get my family to eat soybeans without thinking of it as another one of my weird health food dishes. My family loves it. Ingredients:
2 cups soybeans |
1 medium onion |
5 slices cooked and crumbled bacon |
8 ounces feta cheese |
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese |
1 egg |
1 bag frozen spinach |
Directions:
1. Soak soybeans overnight in at least six cups of water.
2. Cook soybeans in new water until tender.
3. Thaw spinach in a bowl in the microwave.
4. Saute onion (You could add one green pepper if you like.) Mix soybeans, crumbled bacon bits, onions and spinach together and spread in a large casserole dish.
5. In a separate bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese, cottage cheese, and one egg.
6. Spread cheese mixture over soybeans.
7. Bake in 350 degree F oven 45 minutes until topping is brown and casserole is heated through.
8. Variations: Use fresh spinach or broccoli or frozen broccoli.
9. Note: You may need two eggs for binding the cheese to soybeans if feta is particularly dry.
10. Sometimes I dust the top with a bit of paprika for color not for taste.
11. You can use more or less bacon.
12. It is just a teaser to get them to try it.
13. I've made it without the bacon for a vegetarian friend of mine and she loved it.
