Linda McCartney's Mushroom Roast

[Guest guest]

I made this and everyone enjoyed it... the ole meat loving BF didn't even

notice it was meatless! sneaky tiki! He'd feel that I was doing to him what

meat lovers sneaking meat to me would be like...

ANYHOO, when they say press down well, they mean it!

by Linda McCartney

Serves 4-6

__

 

1 medium onion, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 each green, red, and yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 pound brown mushrooms, sliced

3 cups brown breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs, or 2 tablespoons fresh herbs of your choice

1 large organic egg, beaten

sea salt and black pepper to taste

paprika to taste

1 cup vegetarian Cheddar, grated

1 large or 2 small tomatoes, sliced

In a large saucepan, sauté the onion in the oil for 5 minutes. Stir in the

chopped peppers and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook gently until they soften for 1 or 2

minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the breadcrumbs and herbs, and mix well.

Fold in the beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper and a little paprika to

taste.

Spoon the mixture into a well-greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan and press down

well. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top and bake at 350F degrees for 40-45

minutes. Arrange the tomato slices on top for the last 15 minutes of baking.

Allow the roast to cook for at least 20 minutes before lifting it out

carefully, then slice it with a very sharp knife.

I have to try this loaf. Happy it was posted, I saw this in one

of her books I checked out of the library and almost made a copy.

Nice seeing it posted and hearing a review.
