Sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in sun dried tomatoes and garlic. Cover and continue to cook 5 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and cool for 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add brown rice, breadcrumbs chickpeas, dried seasonings, sautéed vegetables and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a food processor and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Scrape sides as needed. The mixture should be just slightly chunky.

Step 4

Place 2 slices of meatloaf in a large compartment of teal MPOF containers. Spoon remaining tomato sauce on each meatloaf serving. Stir together red wine vinegar, olive oil, and agave nectar. Divide between 4 small sauce cups. Add arugula, tomatoes, and Parmesan to 4 smaller compartments along with a side of red wine vinaigrette.
