Nutritionist Patricia Greenberg demonstrates how to whip up delicious, nutritious soy treats.Soynut Brittle
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar or light granulated cane juice
1-1/2 cup roasted, unsalted soynuts
Preparation:
Melt sugar in a pot until it is a nice, brown liquid. Add the soynuts and stir. Let the mixture cook until it comes to a slight boil.
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Pour the hot mixture into the pan, spreading it out thinly and distributing the nuts evenly (see photo at right). Cool. Once cooled it will become hard and solid. Break into small pieces and store in an airtight bag. It should keep for about a week.Tofu Strawberry Mousse

1-1/2 lb. tofu
3/4 cup sugar
8 sliced strawberries
Preparation:
Combine the ingredients in a food processor and puree until completely blended. Transfer to a container and chill for two hours. Serve in an attractive parfait dish.
* Note: You can use any fruit that blends well in place of the strawberries.
