Vegan Quinoa Meatloaf

(1)
  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
* 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing * 1 sweet onion, chopped * 3 garlic cloves, minced * 8 ounces wild mushrooms, finely diced * Salt and ground black pepper to taste * 1 bag of spinach * 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained * 10 sundried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped * 3/4 cup rolled oats * 1 Teaspoon Cumin * 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika * 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard * 2 cups cooked red quinoa * 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley and * 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
Directions
Heat the onion in a pan and caramelize the onions for 10 minutes. Add garlic cook for a few, then add mushrooms and cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Sautee the spinach and set aside.

In a food processor, combine the beans, oats, sun-dried tomatoes, cumin, paprika, mustard, salt, pepper and pulse until a homogenous paste that is deliciously sticky is formed. Toss in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients (minus the spinach). And yes, any quinoa will work, but the red goes gorgeous with the sun-dried tomato color.

Pour half in a lightly oiled loaf pan. Place the spinach in the middle and top with the rest.

Bake at 350 for roughly an hour. Rest for 5 minutes and unmold.
