Dreg roast Recipe November 14/14

two batches of soybean dregs from two sessions of making soymilk with the Soybella soy milk machine
Here is what a fresh batch of "dregs" from the soymilk machine looks like

Each session yields about 1.3 litres of soymilk from about 1/2 cup of dried soybeans

The processed "dregs" ends up to be close to 2 cups.

So rather than waste the by product- we have made a vegetarian roast

Todays roast contains the following

2 loads of soybean dregs (about 4 cups)

1/2 cup pecan meal

1/2 cup ground flax seed

1 1/2 cups steel cut oats

2 cups of rolled oats (large grain- not quick oats)

1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

1 whole wheat hamburger bun chopped up

1 onion diced fine

1/2 cup President's Choice Citrus Marinade

2 cups water

1/4 cup vegetable oil
Couple tablespoons of garlic "seeds" from my garlic scapes

1 cup zuchini relish by Gini

2 Tbsp Bulk Barn Onion soup mix

various pkgs of fast food seasonings

1 pkg soy sauce

6 pkgs plum sauce

2 pkgs ketchup

4 pkgs relish

since we already had those Hot Dog seasonings add a

Big squirt of mustard

and a big squirt of Heinz ketchup

1 cup of various fresh herbs including sage, oregano, dill chopped up in the food processor

After cooking the roast looks like this

After tasting, - roast tastes fine.
Maybe some added texture would be good. Like maybe more sunflower seeds.
Tasted best with some gravy as it could be on the dry side.

Macaroni & Squeese Macaroni & Squeese

Ingredients Ingredients x 8 recipes

▢2 tablespoons butter/margarine/oil 1 cup butter/margarine/oil

▢½ red onion, sliced 4 onions, sliced

▢salt and pepper, to taste salt and pepper, to taste

▢2 cups water 8 cups vegetable broth(less if low water pot)

▢2 cups vegetable broth, unsalted 8 cups vegetable broth(less if low water pot)

▢400 grams butternut squash, peeled/cubed 3200 grams butternut squash, peeled/cubed

▢250 grams pasta, I used Mafalda Corta 2 x 900 grams pasta, I use elbows

▢1 cup cheddar cheese 8 cups cheddar cheese

Instructions

Peel and cut a red onion in half, cut it lengthwise into slices. In a pan on the stove, add the butter and onions. Sauté the onions in the butter on medium heat until softened. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Take it off the heat.

Peel the butternut squash, cut off the ends and cut it in half. Scoop out the seeds, cut each halve down the middle and cube it. You can cut the squash anyway you like as it will be boiled and blended into the sauce regardless.

Take a pot and fill it with water and broth. You can also use all water or all vegetable broth as this recipe is very versatile. Let it come to a boil and add in the cubed squash. Boil until fork tender.

With a slotted spoon take out the squash and add it to a blender with the sautéed onions and butter. Grate the cheese, and add it in with a ladle of the squash broth. Blend until smooth. You can adjust how thin or thick you like it by adjusting the broth. Taste and adjust for salt.

In the meantime, boil the pasta as per the package directions. I like to boil mine in boiling salted water until al-dente. Once cooked, strain the pasta. Add the pasta into a dish and pour the sauce on top. Mix and enjoy!
