Soy dishes have a long tradition, being used in various cultures as a source of plant protein. Vegetable dishes, such as soy beans, are very popular due to their rich taste and nutritional benefits. This recipe has been adapted over time, becoming a favorite option among vegetarians and beyond.

Necessary Ingredients

- 1 jar of yellow beans (720 ml)
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 tablespoon homemade vegetable mix (or dried vegetable mix)
- 1 bag of Inedit soy cubes (approximately 200 g)
- 4-5 large garlic cloves
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Oil (for sautéing)

Ingredient Details

- Inedit Soy: This soy is an excellent source of plant protein, ideal for replacing meat in various dishes. Check the packaging for nutritional information.
- Yellow Beans: These are rich in fiber and vitamins, contributing to a balanced diet. You can use fresh beans, but the jarred version is very convenient.
- Onion and Garlic: These ingredients not only add flavor but also health benefits, having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Preparation Method

1. Preparing the Soy:
- Start by placing the Inedit soy cubes in a pot with water and add a teaspoon of salt. Boil the soy for about 10 minutes until it becomes soft. Then, drain the water and set the soy aside.

2. Preparing the Vegetables:
- In a large pot, add a tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium heat.
- Peel and finely chop the onion, and cut the carrot into small cubes. Add the onion to the hot oil and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the carrot and a few tablespoons of water, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Let the vegetables sauté together for 5-7 minutes until they soften.

3. Adding the Main Ingredients:
- Next, add the drained jar of yellow beans and the boiled soy to the pot.
- Chop the garlic into larger pieces (so it can be easily removed if you don’t prefer it) and add it to the mixture.
- Add a tablespoon of homemade vegetable mix, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix everything well.

4. Final Boiling:
- Pour water into the pot, enough to cover the ingredients, but not too much, so as not to dilute the flavor. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

5. Serving:
- Once the dish is ready, you can check the taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Serve the dish warm, alongside a fresh salad or whole grain bread. A serving suggestion would be to add a little chopped fresh parsley on top for an extra touch of flavor and color.

Useful Tips

- Variations: You can add other vegetables to the recipe, such as bell peppers or zucchini, to give it a different twist. You can also use spices like paprika or turmeric for a more intense flavor.
- Storing Leftovers: If you have leftover food, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for 2-3 days and can be reheated without issues.
- Frequently Asked Questions: You can replace soy with any other type of plant protein, such as chickpeas or lentils. You can also adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to your preferences.
