Make a soy bean patty to help fight high cholesterol.
Cooks use soy in many different dishes, and according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, soy may help in lowering the "bad" LDL cholesterol. Other benefits linked to soy include reduction of menopause symptoms, reducing the risk of hormone-related cancer and increasing bone mineral in women with osteoporosis, according to the University of Maryland. Increasing daily intake of soy does not have to be difficult. Many recipes are available to help integrate this bean into virtually any lifestyle. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Place beans and vegetable broth in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil.
2. Boil for two hours, remove from heat and soak beans overnight. This will soften the beans to the right consistency for preparing patties. Prepare more beans than needed to place in the freezer for use with other meals.
3. Grind or mash soaked beans. Ensure there are no large lumps of bean.
4. Move beans into a large mixing bowl. Add egg, rice and tomato puree; mix well with a large spoon.
5. Continue mixing in onion, savorex, salt and bread crumbs until well blended.
6. Grease baking sheet with olive oil. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
7. Form 4-inch patties by hand and place on baking sheet.
8. Bake patties for 30 minutes.
9. Remove patties from oven and place on a serving plate. Allow patties to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
