Thanksgiving Loaf

 

INGREDIENTS

 

3 cups of cooked lentils

3 cups cooked millet

3 cups steamed brown rice

1 cup whole wheat bread, crumbled (3 slices)

1/2 cup dry oatmeal or cornmeal

1/2 cup almond or cashews, ground fine

1/4 cup sunflower seeds, ground fine (optional)

3/4 cup of tomato juice approximately

1 tbs of oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped tomato

1 heaping tbs of sage (this is the key spice)

1/2 tsp celery seed, ground

salt to taste, garlic power

 

 

*Optional: Parsley " Gravy "

1 3/4 cups of water

2 celery sticks

1/2 cup of cashew nuts

2/3 tbs. of arrowroot powder (or 2 Tbs of Whole Wheat Flour)

1/8 tsp celery seed powder

1/4 tsp soy sauce.

 

PREPARATION

Lightly saute onions in a mixture of water and oil.

Add celery and tomatoes, but only saute very little to soften and

stop. (the celery, if not over-cooked, gives a nice " crunch " to the

loaf)

 

Combine all the ingredients and mix well, add bread crumbs and tomato

juice to make stiff. Add water if the mixture seems too dry.

 

Place in lightly oiled loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

 

 

Serve with favorite gravy (optional)

 

After baking loaf , cover with towel to keep moist, or if you are like me

and like it dry, don't cover.

 

*Using a blender, blend gravy ingredients until smooth. Carefully simmer

in a saucepan until thick.

 

Add 1/4 chopped parsley and serve.

 

Note: 8 - 10 servings
