It’s time for something controversial - soy. Some people are scared of GMO, others fear that their breast will get bigger. But before you start believing in all the “news” about soy please check out the article “Does soy disrupt the balance of male hormones” written by a professional Damian Parol.

The recipe for soy cutlets is another memory of our childhood. Our mum used to serve them to us when we started being the only vegetarians in our family. Mum, you’re great! Here’s the recipe that has been modified by us after so many years of plant-based diet. So do not be afraid of soy so much. It provides you with so much vegan protein!
Ingredients (12 cutlets):
1.5 cup cooked soy beans (GMO free)
2 tsp ground flaxseed meal
1/2 chili pepper
1 spring onion
fresh parsley
4 sun dried tomatoes in olive oil
pinch of dried garlic
1/2 tsp dried oregano
30g breadcrumbs (optional)
salt
black pepper
vegetable oil/ olive oil
Instructions:
A day before cover soy beans with water and leave soaking over night. Next day, drain the soy, cover it with water again and cook over low heat for about 2 hours (until it gets soft).
Grind cooked soy beans. Preheat skillet with olive oil. Add diced onion and finely chopped chili pepper. Stir fry, until the onion is golden brown. In a large mixing bowl combine soy, flaxseed meal, onion and chili pepper.
Dice sundried tomatoes and put it to the mixing bowl. Season the cutlet mixture with some salt, black pepper and oregano. You can also add some breadcrumbs if you like or roll each cutlet in it. Shape small to medium sized round cutlets out of the cutlet mixture.
Fry the cutlets on a vegetable oil/ olive oil. Serve it with a salad, baked potatoes, rice or groats. Enjoy!
