The Un-Meat Loaf
By Hklbrries
The vegetables should be chopped as finely as possible. If you have a food processor this would be a great time to use it. Put each vegetable and the nuts in one at a time, pulse until finely ground. Then dump it into a big bowl with all other ingredients for final mixing.
This recipe freezes well too! Just wrap in foil and then in a freezer bag. To reheat, either slice and warm in the microwave or reheat covered in a 350 F oven for 20 to 30 minutes.

Preparation
Step 1
Combine all ingredients and mix for 2 minutes with a wooden spoon. Pack into a 4-by-8-inch loaf pan sprayed with Pam and bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until lightly browned. You may wish to top the loaf with ketchup after about 40 minutes, then continue baking the final 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
