VEGETARIAN MEATLOAF - HEALTHY



Vegetarian Meatloaf - Healthy image

This meatloaf is as good or better than the "animal protein" version, but with cholesterol levels as they are this vegetarian version is good tasting and good for you. I really enjoyed this as a meatloaf sandwich. This is a variation of a vegan recipe I found in a vegetarian magazine.

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.
