ABSTRACT:
Frozen leguminous food products and a method for preparing the same are disclosed. The process comprises the steps of cleaning the legumes, removing all unwanted material, tempering the legumes until they are partially but evenly hydrated, steam cooking the legumes in direct injected live steam, crushing the legumes between rolls, forming the legumes into nuggets, and quick freezing the resultant nuggets. The nuggets are generally cube shaped and measure approximately 3/8 inch on a side. They contain 50-65% solid food product. The disclosed process eliminates the possibility of scorching during slow cooking as is common in the prior art. The disclosed process also results in a finished product which, when reconstituted, has the color and aroma of a food product prepared from fresh legumes.
