Does it not sound strange? The loaf mimics meat loaf in texture, appearance and color. I hate to use the word meat here. Veganarians use terms like meat loaf, salami and etc. just to attract the attention of carnivores. Cracked bulgur wheat, oats, dried white beans and peas, tomato sauce included in the recipe make the loaf look like meat. Vegan Meatloaf is easy, delicious, and hearty. The white beans and pecans add a meaty texture, while the marinara sauce and spices add flavor. Serve this loaf at any family meal Healthy rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, anti oxidants, flavorful and aromatic. #WS #cracked wheat # dried peas

Steps

50 mins

1

Make a checklist keep all ingredients within reach.
Preheat the oven to 375℉.
Line a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2½-inch overhang on the two lengthwise sides of the pan to make paper “wings.”
Soak beanas and peas in 3c hot water, 3 hours or overnight
Cook in a pressure cooker until jut soft. Drain the cooked white beans and peas
2

Place the walnuts into a blender or food processor and process (on medium or low) into coarse crumbs. Transfer the crumb mixture to a large bowl. Add the rolled oats, bulgur wheat; stir with a large spoon to combine. Add 1 cup marinara sauce, cooked white beans and peas, tamari, Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon maple. Stir with a large spoon to combine.
3

Spoon the loaf mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top of the loaf with a spatula, pressing it down in order to compress the loaf. Fold the paper “wings” over the top of the loaf and gently press down with your hands. This will help to hold the loaf together while it bakes. Cover the loaf (tightly) with foil.
4

While the loaf bakes, make the glaze. Put ½ cup marinara sauce, 2 teaspoons maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder into a small bowl and stir with a whisk to combine.
5

Bake the loaf for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Put the pan on a wire rack and carefully peel back the parchment paper “wings” that are covering the top of the loaf. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the loaf. Bake uncovered for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown around the edges and very firm to the touch.
6

Let cool 10 to 15 minutes before gently pulling back the paper and slicing. Carefully cut the loaf into as many slices as you want, using a serrated bread knife and wiping the knife clean after cutting each slice. Serve warm. You may serve the loaf with stir fried vegetable or salad.
