Vegetarian "meatloaf"
Can anyone point me to a vegetarian version of meatloaf? And sorry, but I don't do tofu. In any form.

For color, it is nice to add some paprika.
It is totally delicious! I love to do the soy sauce mixed with ketchup glaze!
Veggie Burgers
Makes 9 patties
3 cups water
1/3 cup quinoa
1/3 cup brown lentils
1/3 cup long-grain brown rice
2 tbls vegetable oil
1 cup grated carrots
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup shelled raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
1 1/2 tbls minced garlic
[use food processor to chop]
1 teas fresh basil (or ½ teas dried and crumbled)
1 teas fresh thyme (or ½ teas dried and crumbled)
1 teas fresh oregano (or ½ teas dried and crumbled)
salt and pepper to taste (1 teas salt?)
2 large eggs beaten
6 tbls flour
vegetable oil for frying
Boil water in large pot. Stir in quinoa, lentils, and rice. Reduce to low heat. Cover and cook until grains are tender, about 40 min. Put in a large bowl, drain and cool.
Heat 2 tbls oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, celery, sunflower seeds and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 12 min. Add to grains and cool.
Mix in basil, thyme, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. (this can all be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate at this point.) Stir in beaten eggs and flour. Press ½ cup between hands to form a patty and place in freezer bags. Do not stack patties without plastic between them. Cook in oil, about 5 minutes per side.
