Tue Sep 22 09:08:58 -0700 2009 5048945 239809 1sweetpea 2 5049000 Thanks for your reply! I am focusing on fresh green soybeans.........just experimenting and thinking of grinding them and turning the paste or 'meal' into something Tue Sep 22 09:22:40 -0700 2009 5048954 46187 City Girl 3 5049034 I've successfully made hummus with them. I don't cook the frozen beans any further. I just buy the frozen soybeans (no shells) in the health food freezer section of Loblaws and thaw, before putting them in the food processor, along with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin a pinch or two of cayenne and some salt, to taste. I often add a bit of toasted sesame oil for flavour, instead of olive oil. I also saw a recipe in the October, 2009 issue of EatingWell Magazine for an Edamame-Ginger Dip that sounded interesting. I've also made green pea guacamole (a low-fat alternative to avocado guacamole). I'm sure fresh soybeans would make an excellent substitute. Tue Sep 22 09:35:01 -0700 2009 5049000 239809 1sweetpea
