No Yuletide feasting, eh? Hmmmm.

Well, i think any day could be considered a

celebration worthy of a feast. Winter Solstice

would be a good day for a TVP loaf with mashed

potatoes, gravy and roasted veggies.

 

i already posted the loaf recipe, but here it is again:

 

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 350û for

Yield: 2 mini-loaf pans or 1 regular loaf

 

Now this was my little experiment, so feel free to

adjust it to suit yourself. All the recipes for TVP loaves

i found on the net were non-vegan, and i wanted to

make one vegan.

For gravy i find the HAIN brand vegetarian chicken-

style instant gravy packets quite easy, tasty, and just

right for serving with tofurkey, quorn or unmeat loaves.

Oh, and if you'd like to try a good lentil loaf we have

about 3 in our files, but the one everyone raves about

the most is the version shared by Veronica.

fuss over a Christmas meal...we don't do Christmas. However, we enjoy seeing

the decorations and music without also seeing the bills come in or beating each

other up at the stores to get that last gift or beating someone up for cutting

in

line (saw that on TV). Kind of weird watching a perfectly sweet and wonderful

holiday get lost over the years. If we decide to have a New Year's Eve dinner I

may try that Tofurkey again after years of avoiding it. Are you going to share

with us this loaf recipe? Is there a gravy to it too?
