Ingredients
-
2 cups black beans, cooked
-
2 small carrots, peeled and grated (or 1 large)
-
1 onion, chopped
-
2 celery ribs, chopped
-
1 zucchini, chopped
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 cup cooked brown rice
-
1/2 cup pine nuts
-
2 tablespoons brown rice flour
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons ketchup, plus more
-
ketchup, to top
-
1 tablespoon dried parsley
-
2 teaspoons dried oregano
-
2 teaspoons dried basil
-
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
-
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
-
1 cup mushroom, sliced
Instructions
- Pulse the pine nuts in a food processor until it resembles a coarse meal. Empty into a large mixing bowl.
- Sauté the vegetables (minus the beans) with the oil over medium heat until everything is softened. Take off the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8 baking dish with oil or spray. Add the beans, rice, vegetables, seasonings, soy sauce, ketchup and flour to the mixing bowl and mash/mix everything together. If the "batter" seems to dry, add some vegetable broth to moisten. If it seems to wet, add some more flour.
- Scoop the mix into the baking dish and level out the top. Place in the oven to bake for 1 hour. After about 40 minutes, take out the loaf and spread some ketchup over the top (optional) and place back in the oven to continue baking.
- Let the loaf cool for 10-15 minutes and either turn out onto a platter, or just serve out of the dish. I served mine with a baked potato and steamed veggies.
