My secrets INGREDIENTS

(for 4 people):

♡ 20 cannelloni plates

♡ 150 gr. of textured soybeans

♡ Vegetable broth

♡ ½ onion

♡ 200 gr. of mushrooms

♡ 30 gr. of miso women

♡ Thyme and rosemary

♡ Vegan cheese for gratin (I used Tofutti mozzarella)

♡ White pepper

For the bechamel:

♡ 60 gr. of flour

♡ 60 g margarine or mild olive oil

♡ 1 l. vegetal milk without added sugar

♡ Nutmeg

♡ Salt

PREPARATION

Preparation time: 25min
Cooking time: 30min
Total: 55 min

In a small saucepan, put the textured soybeans and add broth until covered. Put the fire to the minimum, cover and let it cook until all the liquid has been consumed.

Clean the mushrooms and chop them into small pieces. Also, chop the onion. In a hot frying pan, add a generous amount of oil and fry over very low heat the mushrooms and onion.

When the mushrooms are well sautéed and the onion too, add the hydrated textured soy and the muji miso. Stir and let everything cook together for about 5 more minutes.
After this time, turn off the heat, add the thyme, rosemary and black pepper to taste. We do not add salt since the muji miso is already salty enough.

Cook the cannelloni plates according to the manufacturer's instructions and fill them.

Before placing the cannelloni in the oven dish, prepare the bechamel. On the one hand, heat the milk in a saucepan. On the other hand, in a hot frying pan add the oil or margarine and toast the flour until it takes on some color. Then add the boiling milk and stir constantly until there are no lumps of flour. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg.

Put a little bechamel sauce in the dish and then put the cannelloni on top. This way the pasta will not stick. When we have placed all the cannelloni, cover them with the rest of the bechamel, put some vegan cheese on top and gratin them.

7 Reasons to Eat Mushrooms

1- Prevent cancer

Mushrooms contain selenium and vitamin D so they are a source of antioxidants and, therefore, help repair DNA and prevent it from mutations, also reducing the chances of malignant cells that end up leading to cancer and/or tumors that affect your health.

source

2- Strengthen the heart

They are rich in potassium, which helps strengthen the heart, improving blood pressure and reducing the chances of cardiovascular disease.

source

3- Favor the proper functioning of the nervous system

This is due to the vitamin B1 content of mushrooms. Vitamin B1, or Thiamine, participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates for the generation of energy, playing an indispensable role in the functioning of the nervous system and your health.

source

But in addition, vitamin B1 is a great ally of the state of mind for its beneficial effect on the nervous system and mental activity. It helps in cases of depression, irritability, memory loss, loss of concentration and exhaustion.

4- Create a feeling of satiety and reduced appetite

This makes them ideal as a complement to most slimming diets. Mushrooms, thanks to the fact that they contain two types of fiber: beta-glucans and chitin, provide a feeling of satiety and a reduction in appetite in those who consume them that cause a clear decrease in the anxiety to eat and the feeling of hunger suffered by people who carry out a slimming diet.

5- Prevents hair loss and promotes hair growth

To a large extent the recommendation to eat mushrooms to prevent hair loss and its strengthening is due to the containment of vitamins such as B1 already mentioned (the proper functioning of the nervous system, results in better and more abundant hair in many cases) but also to the high value of minerals such as zinc, selenium and copper. Yes, copper. The mushroom, along with other foods such as asparagus or sesame seeds and sunflower, contains copper, which makes them very beneficial for the health care of your hair, preventing its fall and increasing its growth.

1. Delays the development of diabetes and is good in the diet those who suffer it.
   The consumption of mushrooms produces a slowing effect on the development of diabetes and reduces the symptoms associated with that pathology.

source

It is precisely this low glycemic level (imperceptible unless 1.2 kg of mushrooms is consumed in less than 10 minutes) and the high fiber level of mushrooms which makes this food a great solution in the diets of people who unfortunately already suffer from this health problem.

7- They favor the reduction of cholesterol

On the one hand, the mushroom has absolutely no cholesterol and, on the other hand, we do find in this food a certain content of vitamin B5 recommended to reduce excess cholesterol.

source

3- Against cancer

A team of biologists from the University of the United Arab Emirates explained in the journal PLoS ONE that the anti-cancer activity of oregano is based on the fact that it encourages cell cycle arrest and promotes apoptosis (i.e. suicide of cancer cells) in breast cancer patients.

4- Anti-inflammatory

Scientists at the University of Bonn (Germany), and the ETH Zurich (Switzerland) identified an active ingredient in oregano - known as beta-caryophyllene (E-BCP) - that may be useful against disorders such as osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis.
