Answer
I call this my super, extra, wholesome carrot loaf recipe:

2 tablespoons water or broth, for steam-frying
1 onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 large wholesome carrot, peeled and grated
2 celery ribs, diced
1 cup mushroom, cleaned and chopped
2 cups veggie burgers or veggie crumbles
1 cup uncooked quick oatmeal or oat bran
1/4-1/2 cup vegetable broth, as needed
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 dashes vegetarian worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions
1Preheat the oven to 350º. Spray a loaf pan or 8x8 square baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside (an 8x8 pan makes a crisper loaf).
2Grind the into a coarse meal using a food processor or spice/coffee grinder. Place in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
3Sauté any vegetables you've chosen in the water or broth for steam-frying until soft. Add to the large mixing bowl along with all the remaining ingredients. Mix and mash together well, adding only as much liquid as needed to create a soft, moist loaf that holds together and is not runny (you may not need to add any liquid if the grains and protein are very moist). Add more binder/carbohydrate as needed if the loaf seems too wet.
4Press mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until cooked through.
5Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn out onto a plate or platter and slice. Serve with potatoes, vegetables, and vegetarian gravy, if desired.
6Cold leftover slices of make a great sandwich filling

Does anyone have one? And what would it go good with?


Answer
My favorite:

Thanksgiving "Meat" Loaf
(Egg substitute) Mix together 1 T arrowroot powder, 1 T corn starch, and 4 T water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 box medium firm silken tofu
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 packet vegan dried onion soup mix
1 teaspoon oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2/4 cup chopped celery
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano and basil
1/2 teaspoon sage
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 cup of instant mashed potato flakes

Directions:

Mix egg substitute, soy sauce, tofu & onion soup mix together in blender. Add walnuts & blend until smooth.
Saute vegetables until onions are transparent. Add herbs/spices while vegetables are frying.
Mix blender ingredients, cooked vegetables, bread crumbs and potato flakes together in a large bowl.
Press into a greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool slightly. Turn loaf out and slice.

I generally serve this with mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and rolls.
