Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced1 cup chopped red onion (about 1 onion)salt & fresh ground pepper1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained3/4 cup rolled oat 2 cups cooked quinoa 1 cup frozen green pea1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme (optional)10 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped1 teaspoon all purpose seasoning
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease an 8-inch loaf pan with oil; set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, put beans, oats and 1/2 cup water into a food processor and pulse until almost smooth. In a large bowl, combine mushrooms/onions, bean mixture, quinoa, peas, parsley, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to prepared loaf pan, gently pressing down and mounding it in the middle. Bake until firm and golden brown, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Set aside to let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. (NOTE: I made this into mini loaves for portion control and cooked them for 25 minutes at 350 degrees and they were very dry. . .I do not recommend making them into mini loaves or patties).
