THIS IS VERY GOOD:ingredients - 1 bulb garlic, 1 tsp. canola oil, 1 12-oz. pkg. frozen shelled sweet soybeans (edamame), 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. ground cumin, 1/3 cup snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley, 8 slices whole grain bread, 1 tomato, thinly sliced, 4 oz. vegan Monterey Jack cheese, sliceddirections

1. For spread preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Slice off top 1/2 inch of garlic bulb. Leaving bulb whole, remove loose outer layers. Place bulb, cut side up, in custard cup. Drizzle with oil. Cover with foil; roast 15 minutes until soft. Cool.


2. Meanwhile cook soybeans according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cold water. Squeeze 3 garlic cloves from bulb into food processor. Wrap and refrigerate remaining garlic for other use.


3. Add cooked soybeans, lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cumin to garlic in food processor. Cover and process until smooth. Transfer to bowl. Stir in parsley.


4. For each sandwich spread 2 tablespoons soybean mixture on two slices whole grain bread. Top one bread slice with 1 ounce thinly sliced cheese and tomato slices. Add second bread slice. On nonstick griddle or nonstick skillet toast over medium-high heat, turning once. Makes 4 sandwiches plus 1 cup spread.
