    2 large onions, chopped
    3-4 stalks celery, chopped
    1 leek, chopped
    2 large carrots, chopped
    1-1/2 to 2 lbs. mushrooms, chopped (nice if they're all different kinds, but not necessary)
    1 cups cooked rice pilaf (or rice cooked in vegetable broth)
    1 or 1-1/2 cups chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds are good)
    Vegetable broth, as needed to moisten mixture
    Seasoned bread crumbs
    Half cup grated Parmesan or romano cheese
    Parsley, basil, thyme, sage and any other herbs and spices you like
    4 eggs, beaten
    Salt, pepper to taste
    Vegetable or olive oil

    Wild Mushroom Gravy
    3/4 lbs variety of mushrooms, chopped or sliced thin
    1 can vegetable broth (2 cans if you want to make gravy for leftovers)
    3 tablespoons flour (or adjust as needed)
    salt, pepper


Directions

Nut Loaf
Saute' vegetables in oil. Make rice pilaf. (These steps can be done ahead of time or the day before).
Mix all ingredients well, into the consistency of a meat loaf.
Adjust seasonings, if necessary.
Put into a loaf pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 min to an hour.
To check if done, insert a toothpick into the middle and check to see that it comes out dry.

Wild Mushroom Gravy
Saute mushrooms in frying pan in a little olive oil until soft and golden.
Mix flour with vegetable broth until smooth, and add to pan with mushrooms.
Add salt, pepper and any other seasonings you like.
Cook over medium high heat until it bubbles lightly and thickens to gravy consistency.
If gravy does not thicken sufficienty, mix a little more flour with a little cold water (3-4 tbsp) and add to pan.
If gravy is too thick, add a little more broth or water. Serve over slices of nut loaf.

Incredible! 		This was a labor intensive but truly delicious meal. Sooooo yummy! Definitely a dish to make if you would like to impress somebody! I made this according to the recipe, but baked it in a mini loaf pan (8 mini loaves) and cut the time to 35 min. Instant portion control and oh so cute!

Very Good 		very tasty, filling.. not a vegetarian,but felt like i was eating something hearty and the sage made it taste very thanksgiving-ish. mushroom gravy by itself was wonderful as well, but great as a topper.

Fantastic!!! I'm the only vegetarian in my house but everyone loved it. I try to avoid gluten so for bread crumbs I crumbled 2 slices of rice bread.

Very Good 		If you are worried about cholesterol, just use egg beaters instead of whole eggs.

I think rolled oats in place of the bread crumbs might be a good idea. this is what I use in meat loaf. Otherwise sounds great and I will try it.
