Soybean Sandwich Spread

This is a simple, dense and satisfying spread, very good open-faced on whole wheat toast.

• 1 c soybeans, soaked
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 4 c water

• 3-4 salad onions, chopped
• 1/2 c olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt or to taste
• black pepper to taste

Boil the drained beans for about 10 minutes, then cook the beans in water with a little oil until tender (90 min in a pressure cooker, about 3 hours stovetop.) When tender, add salt to the cooking water, stir and let sit 5 minutes.

Puree the soybeans, or mash them with a fork. Add remaining ingredients and stir to blend. Refrigerate at least an hour for the flavors to combine before serving.
