Marcella:
I wonder if you might share the recipe for the vegan meatloaf that you made for us on your birthday one year? I have tried to duplicate it with no success.
Almine:
The key ingredient is difficult to find, and without it I'm not sure how to make it. (I buy the vegan meat substitutes only if they don't have soy or canola oil in them.) I used to be able to get – at our local grocery store – a package of vegan "hamburger meat". Assuming you have that for the bulk of your meatloaf, then add the following ingredients and mix well.
- A small can of tomato paste
- One teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce (low sodium soy sauce can be substituted)
- Half a cup of chopped raw onion
- Half a cup of oatmeal
- Two tablespoons of finely chopped parsley
- Half a teaspoon each of (sea) salt, curry powder, cumin
- A pinch of pepper
Pack mixture firmly into a bread pan and bake for about 50 minutes.
If you eat sugar or monk fruit sweetener, then mix 2 tablespoons of ketchup with a tablespoon of brown sugar (add a half teaspoon of mustard if desired) and spread over the top of the loaf. Bake ten minutes more.
Brown Vegan Gravy
- Dried powdered mushroom powder (one dessert spoon)
- Salt and pepper, one pint of pure water, blend
- Add one rounded tablespoon of corn starch blended into the cold liquid and stir while heating till it thickens slightly
This is so good!! Thank you kindly.
Thank you G for adding to the knowledge.
I want to learn more about these things.
What makes Canola oil unhealthy?
Wow – this sounds delicious! Will try to find a vegan meat like hamburger.
Be careful about modern meat substitutes – they are made in a lab and are modified / synthetic and are funded by the 'elites', even though the ingredients list seems natural enough. You could try using lentils and mixed beans (presoaked in apple cider vinegar for 24 hours if dried) – when cooked they can be mashed to give a 'loaf' consistency – you can add besan flour to firm the texture up. Chick peas, mashed sweet potato, even cauliflower rice etc. would work too with the ingredients list Almine provides. Yum! Have fun experimenting!
You can also get coconut aminos to replace the soy sauce 🙂
YES! I've been looking for recipe ideas!
WOW!! This is great. Thank you so very much! I will definitely try it.
