Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 If you are one of those folks that doesn't wish to go the turkey-analog route for Thanksgiving, and the idea of Tofurkey or Quorn turns you off, then here is an idea you might try. This is a vegan unmeatloaf recipe I came up with one day. I really liked it and it made for a hearty main dish. My goal was to make a delicious vegan version. i thought it was a success, and enjoyed this loaf with smashed potatoes, corn, and steamed broccoli. Hearty comfort food. i used the bit of mashed potatoes as a binder in place of the egg i see in so many non-vegan recipes. While i was doing this i thought a bit of instant mashed potato flakes would be a quick & easy substitution for that step. i hope you will try this, play around with it, and let me know what you think. TVP Loaf ~ vegan 1 cup TVP 2 cups vegetable broth 1 onion, finely minced 2 stalks celery, finely minced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbs. vegan margarine 1 small potato, cooked & mashed [or about 1/4 cup mashed potatoes you have leftover] 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/2 cup oatmeal 3 Tbs. Brags liquid aminos 2 Tbs. BBQ sauce 2 Tbs. tomato paste 1 tsp. gravy master [or Kitchen Bouquet] Celtic sea salt to taste Garlic oil, to grease loaf pans Heat vegetable broth to boiling, add TVP and remove from heat. Let sit until all moisture is absorbed. Saute the onion, celery and garlic in the margarine until soft. Add this to the reconstituted TVP. Stir in mashed potato, bread crumbs, oatmeal, brags, BBQ sauce, tomato paste, gravy master and salt. Mix completely. Divide mixture evenly between two min-loaf pans that you have coated the insides with garlic oil [or olive oil]. Bake at 350? for Yield: 2 mini-loaf pans or 1 regular loaf ~ PT ~ You sunburnt sicklemen, of August weary, Come hither from the furrow and be merry. ~ Shakespeare The Tempest. Act iv, sc. 1, 1. 134.
