Description
A delicious vegetarian main
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 1/2 onion (I used 1/2 ’cause Tim isn’t a big fan of onions)
- 1 cup walnuts
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup BBQ sauce + more for topping
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari (or regular soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoons stone ground mustard
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups whole grain bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil spray a loaf pan and set aside.
- Peel your carrots and cut them into large chunks. Cut your celery and onion into large chunks. Put them in your food processor and process until they are chopped. Add the walnuts and process until you have a mushy-textured mixture. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the BBQ sauce, tamari, and mustard and stir to combine. Add the cheese, breadcrumbs, and vegetable/walnut mixture and knead with your hands until it is well mixed and holds together.
- Transfer mixture to loaf pan and press it down. Spread the top with BBQ sauce. Bake for 45 minutes. Allow to stand for 15 minutes before serving (this gives the loaf a chance to set). Slice and serve.
