Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain soaked or canned beans, combine with water in blender and blend until pureed. Transfer mixture to mixing bowl.

Add pecans, oatmeal, onion, celery, egg white or egg replacer, salt and soy sauce; mix well. Let stand 10 minutes to absorb liquids.

Heat lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop soybean mixture by ¼ cupfuls into pan and flatten slightly. Brown on both sides.

Transfer cutlets to baking dish, spoon gravy over and bake until heated through, 30-35 minutes. Serve with additional gravy.

Gravy: In small heavy saucepan, roast flour over medium heat until it browns slightly and gives off a roasted aroma, about 5 minutes. Add oil; stir to blend. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add pepper to taste and additional salt if needed. |
