SOY BURGERS

Makes about 5 cups of mix.         

1 cup soybeans, uncooked 1 bay leaf ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup oil ¼ tsp cayenne ¼ tsp chili powder

½ tsp dry mustard 3 cloves garlic, minced ¼ tsp ground cumin ¾ tsp dill weed ¾ tsp ground thyme

Soak the soybeans for 24 hours.

Cook (with a bay leaf) till done, about 2 hours. Remove the bay leaf.

Reserve about a half cup of cooked soybeans and chop them lightly. Blend the rest of the soybeans with the rest of the ingredients above. (Use a blender or use a Champion juicer with the blank inserted on the underside.) 

Place the blended mixture in a large bowl, and add the chopped soybeans to the blended mix for texture.

Mix  the following ingredients well, and then add them to the mix in the bowl.

½ cup dry millet, steamed ¾ cup toasted rolled oats     (Toast them lightly in the oven)

¾ onion, chopped fine ½ grated carrot

To prepare the millet, add it to 1½ cups boiling water and simmer till all the water is absorbed. Maybe 10-15 minutes.

Mix everything well.

2 eggs, beaten

Cheese slices

Add the beaten egg. (Optional, but it helps the burgers stick together.)

Form the mix into patties and fry in a little oil. After cooking on both sides, add a slice of cheese to the top and cook, covered, till the cheese melts. Serve on a plate or on toast, with lettuce, tomato slices, and ketchup.
