cannellini beans (or other white beans

cilantro

parsley

tsp cumin

lemon juice

Tbsp Tahini (optional)

tsp dried thyme (or rosemary

tbsp bbq sauce

hot sauce

tsp ketchup

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil, onions and garlic and pinch of salt. Cook until translucent. Add celery, peppers, cranberries and cook for 3 minutes, * You can cook the veggies without oil. Cook onions and garlic in a splash of broth or water until translucent, then add other veggies.

Drain the chickpeas and beans really well. In a food processor, process the chickpeas, beans, cilantro, parsley and half of the cooked veggie mixture. Pulse, process until the mixture is half mashed and half coarsely chunky. You can add a handful of greens in as well at this step. .

Transfer to a bowl. Mix in the chia seed meal into the bbq sauce + lemon juice in a small bowl and let it sit for a minute. Add spices, tahini, bbq sauce mixture, leftover veggies to the beans bowl. Mix in. Add in the breadcrumbs and mix in. The mixture should be like a veggie burger mixture. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If too dry, add a tbsp of aquafaba (chickpea brine). or 1 tsp chia/ flax seed meal mixed in 1 tbsp water. Taste the mixture and adjust salt, spice, seasoning.

Transfer the mixture to parchment lined loaf pan with parchment sheet hanging out to make it easy to remove the loaf. Even it out(by lightly pressing. too much pressing will make a mashed texture loaf )  If you don&#x27;t have a pan, use a parchment lined baking sheet and shape into a rectangular log.

Prepare the glaze by mixing everything and spread over the loaf.

Cover the loaf with parchment, bake at pre-heated 400 degrees F / 200ºc for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and continue to bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, till toothpick from the center comes out clean. Bake longer for taller loaf or if you want crispier edges.

Cool for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan. Cool almost completely and slice with a serrated knife.

Or shape into balls and bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Serve with cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes or other sides of choice.

Looking for the best vegan meatloaf recipe? Look no further! Our plant-based meatloaf is unbelievably tender, moist, and packed with flavor. Made with soy curls, white beans, and a blend of flavorful seasonings, it&#39;s then glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce.

The Best Vegan Meatloaf

dry soy curls

tbsp oil

shallots (minced)

mushrooms

navy beans

yeast

soy sauce

tbsp ketchup

tbsp white sugar

tsp dark soy sauce (optional,

Worcestershire sauce

tsp liquid smoke

breadcrumbs

tbsp sugar (or maple syrup)

tsp yellow mustard

Rehydrate the soy curls. Add the soy curls to a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let the soy curls rehydrate for 15-20 minutes. Drain the soy curls and rinse them a couple of times under cold water. Doing so will get rid of the soybean flavor. Next, squeeze the soy curls with your hands to remove most of the moisture. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C).

Sauté the aromatics. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and shallots, and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Next, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Process the beans. To a food processor fitted with the “S” blade, add the cooked white beans, water, oil, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, dark soy sauce (if using), vegan Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, liquid smoke, and salt.

Process for 15-30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth. Be aware that it will be very liquid. It is normal.

Add soy curls, herbs, and mushrooms. Next, add the rehydrated soy curls, fresh parsley, and sautéed mushrooms. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles ground meat. Do not process too long, or you will lose the meaty texture.

Add the gluten and breadcrumbs. Transfer the “ground meat” mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the vital wheat gluten and the breadcrumbs to the bowl.

Stir to combine. Using a spoon or spatula, stir until the vital wheat gluten is fully incorporated. The mixture will appear dryer and should hold together.

Transfer to a loaf pan. Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to the pan and lightly pack it. Flatten the top into an even layer.

Bake. Cover the loaf pan with two layers of aluminum foil. This will help in retaining the moisture of the meatloaf. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake covered for 1 hour.

Prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire, and onion powder.

Glaze. After one hour, remove the foil from the meatloaf and spread the ketchup glaze on top of the meatloaf. Bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the glaze has thickened and has become sticky.

Serve. Let the meatloaf cool for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a serving plate.

Just made this for dinner...*chef's kiss. It was super. Gluten and sugar incuded ;-)

I just tried it. Amazing recipe. Thank you Thomas.
