Vegan: Meatless Loaf Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 medium onions, chopped
4 1/2 oz tvp granules
1 cup hot water or vegetable stock
1 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 tbsp mixed herbs
1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 egg equivalent, well mixed
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 salt and pepper
SAUCE
32 oz chopped tomatoes
6 oz tomato paste
1 salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, heat oil and saute
onions until lightly browned. Add the TVP mince, stir and cook for
two minutes. Pour the hot water or stock over the saute and simmer
for four minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, herbs and garlic together
with one cup cold water. Stir in the egg and leave to one side for
ten minutes.
Combine the cooked TVP mince with the breadcrumbs mixture, then add
the soy sauce. Stir well and season to taste. Using your hands,
shape the mixture into an oval mound and place it in the center of a
large baking dish, leaving plenty of space all around for the tomato
sauce to run.
Heat the tomatoes, tomato paste and seasoning in a small saucepan,
and pour over the loaf, then bake for one hour. Serves 6.
JTK's notes: I usually add more herbs & chopped garlic, and saute
chopped vegetables like celery, carrots, and/or mushrooms after
onions are done but before adding TVP. Hot sauce is a good addition,
too, or other flavored sauce like veg. Worcestershire. The egg
replacer works fine --- i have no idea what it's like with a real
egg. Also, I make the tomato sauce differently (sometimes I use
canned/jar or homemade frozen sauce, usually dont bother heating it
up first, and I prefer canned whole tomatoes, pureed, to prechopped
ones), but it doesn't matter much. I make breadcrumbs from whatever
bread is available, preferably wholewheat (lightly toasted for
dryness) ~-- doesn't matter much either. Cracker crumbs or matzo meal
would probably do as well, if you don't have bread around or a food
processor/blender. I've made 1.5x recipe into a single loaf OK, but
larger wouldn't work (would have to make separate loaves, if larger
quantities are desired)

Food Tips of the Week

Rather than thinking about which food types you really should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If you manage to inject some nourishing grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased risk of giving in to those damaging midday snacks.
The case against low carb diets
Its extremely popular, but it is truly safe for you?
Cutting out carbohydrates could mean missing out on required nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, especially those obtained from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Eating more animal-based products may lead into high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which some authorities believe will increase the risk of heart conditions.
Foods high in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, kale, kidney bean and chamomile)
The compounds known as flavonoids which exist in these fruits and vegetables are believed to be good in helping to prevent cancer.
Nutritionalists researching the medical effects of flavonoids believe that they may well also have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-asthma and antiplatelet activities..
A good number are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss program.
