PERFECT PROTEIN SALAD

This recipe's a favorite with several of MOM'S staffers... it's good for you as well as good-tasting!

3/4 cup of raw soybeans
3/4 cup of raw rye or wheat berries one of each, diced: scallion, carrot, cucumber, red onion pepper, stalk of celery
1 cup of cottage cheese

Marinade:
1/2 cup of cider vinegar
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of dry white wine juice of 1 lemon or lime
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon of fresh fennel or dill
1/4 teaspoon of dry mustard
1/2 cup of freshly chopped parsley dash of basil salt and pepper to taste

Cook the soybeans and rye or wheat berries until tender, then add them to the marinade and chill the mixture. Add the diced vegetables, and then combine everything with the cottage cheese. Serve with alfalfa sprouts and tomato slices.

SAVORY CHEESE AND ONION PIE

pastry for a 10" pie shell
10 ounces of cheese, grated (1/2 Swiss and 1/2 Gruyere suggested)
2 tablespoons of flour
2 large onions, sliced
4 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon of freshly chopped basil
2 large, firm tomatoes, sliced
2 large eggs
3/4 cup of cream nutmeg (optional)

Line a 10" pie dish with your favorite pastry and chill it. Then toss the cheese with the flour and set it aside. Melt the butter in a large skillet and sauté the onions until they begin to turn golden. Spread about 1/3 of the cheese over the bottom of the pie dish, then layer the onions on top. In the butter that's left in the pan, heat the tomato slices with the chopped basil for a minute or two, then arrange the mixture over the onions, and cover with the remaining cheese.
Next, beat the eggs with the cream and pour over the cheese. Sprinkle a little nutmeg on top, if desired, and bake the pie in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top browns nicely. Serve hot, in wedges, to six hungry cheese lovers.
