Best Eggplant Quinoa Loaf Recipes
QUINOA LOAF
I foound this on the 3ABN recipe website and tried it. My family actually liked it too and they are fussy eaters! It is one that you can add your own favorite things to and it will adapt well. Just make sure that you diced or grate your added ingredients so that the loaf will cook correctly. It is a great vegetarian meatloaf substitute! If you use the egg for the non-vegan version, start with one egg and if it is still too stiff, add one at a time until the correct loaf texture.

QUINOA LOAF WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEAS
Per Whole Foods website, "Welcome spring--or vegetarian guests--to your table with this delicious main-course recipe that is destined to become a favorite for family and feasts alike. For killer veggie burgers, serve any leftover slices on toasted whole wheat buns with lettuce and spicy mustard." Quinoa can be expensive in chain grocery stores, however they do sell it in bulk at Whole Foods very inexpensively and I have gotten it at Super Walmart as well.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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).

RED QUINOA LOAF
I love Quinoa. Its a wonderful grain and so healthy for you. You could use the light coloured Quinoa in this recipe if you don't have the red. For this recipe I bought a box of Quinoa and it was already cleaned, but if you buy Quinoa in bulk make sure you rinse it at least 4 times in cool water before cooking it. To save time, I put the Quinoa in the tall plastic cup of my hand blender and whiz it around until it released the soapy outer coating that is on the grain. I would rinse it again in cool water to make sure it was clean. It is essential this be done because it will taste bitter. Follow the directions on the box as to how to cook your Quinoa. If you buy it in bulk, then just put your Quinoa in two cups of water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. You can substitute the water with veggie or chicken broth also. It will give the grain a hardier flavor. I won't include the time to cook the Quinoa in my cooking time below. I think next time I make this I will add an egg or a package of vegan gelatin as I found this a bit crumbly.

Steps:
- Once the Quinoa is cooked, mix it with the rest of the ingredients. Oil a loaf pan and fill with the mixture. Bake in a 375'F oven for about 35-40 minutes or until firm to the touch.
- Suggestion: Use parchment paper on the top and bottom of the loaf to eliminate a hard crust from forming.
- Allow to cool and slice.
- Bon Appetit!
