But let me clarify. I don't want something made out of a bunch of meat substitutes like Boca. I'm okay if there's a bit of that in there for binder or texture but the majority of them I'm finding just use that instead of meat.
I actually wan a veggie loaf with rice and maybe some spinach or onion or any other combination of actual veggies!
I'm not very creative at cooking so I need a tried and tested recipe. Any help is MUCH appreciated!
Answer
Veggie Loaf
RECIPE BY: Prose
This is from a book called The Great American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson (of Supersize Me fame). All of her recipes are super healthy and this is the tastiest vegan loaf I've tried. Like other vegan loaves, this is more fragile than meatloaf. Be sure to let it cool about 15 minutes before slicing, and even then expect some crumbling.
Ingredients
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup uncooked instant oats
1 cup finely chopped mushroom
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped walnut
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup olives, any variety, pitted and chopped fine
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos or soy sauce
2 tablespoons mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried sage
Directions
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice (or other leftover whole grain), lentils, oats, mushrooms, onion, carrot, pepper, walnuts, tomato paste, olives, parsley, soy sauce, mustard, thyme, marjoram, and sage. Mix well.
3Lightly oil an 8" x 4" loaf pan.
4Fill the loaf pan with the mixture and pack well to press out any air pockets.
5Bake for 40 minutes, covered. Uncover and bake for another 20 minutes, until lightly browned. (Be sure to check it after 10 minutes uncovered as I found it was already done). Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing. Use a serrated knife to carefully slice.

2. Bake for about an hour at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can slice it like a meatloaf and serve.
Stuffing doesn't have to be cooked inside a turkey - this vegetarian bread stuffing with apples and walnuts is delicious baked as a casserole.
Yield 10 servings
Time an hour
Tools
* large frying pan
* wooden spoon
* large mixing bowl
* two medium or one very large casserole(s), with lids
Ingredients
* ¾ c butter
* 2 c onion, chopped
* 2 c celery, chopped
* 1-2 t salt
* pepper
* 3 t sage
* 3 t thyme
* 1 t marjoram
* 1 t rosemary
* ½ c fresh parsley, chopped
* 2-3 T apple cider vinegar
* 16 c bread cubes*
* 4 c green apples, chopped
* 1½ c raisins (optional)
* 1½ c lightly toasted walnuts, minced
* 2 c vegetable stock
Directions Melt butter or olive oil over medium high heat and sauté onion and celery until soft and starting to turn golden. Add salt, pepper, herb, and vinegar. Mix well and remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 350.
In the bowl, combine bread, apples, raisins, and walnuts. Stir in onion mixture until well combined.
Toss with half of the stock and check consistency - you want the stuffing to be moist but not soggy. Add more stock as needed, then taste and adjust seasonings.
Butter the casseroles, add stuffing, cover, and bake for 45 minutes.
Vegetarian Stuffing
3/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup apple, peeled and diced
2 tsp dried or 3 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/4 tsp salt
pinch cayenne pepper
4 cups bread cubes (white or whole grain)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
10-12 tbsp strong vegetable broth* (up to 3/4 cup)
Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
In a small frying pan, sautee the onion, celery and apple until tender with the parsley, sage, salt, cayenne (or regular pepper, if you prefer). This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes with onion mixture, cranberries, pecans, vegetable broth, adding slightly more if the bread is very absorbant (some need more liquids), and mix well. Taste one of the cubes and, if necessary, add additional salt or pepper.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until top is crisp and golden.
Serve immediately.
