PECAN HERB LOAF
from Lindsay Wagner & Ariane Spade, The High Road to Health


Ingredients:

1/2 onion, finely chopped 2 T arrowroot powder [or cornstarch]
1 tsp olive oil 4 T nutritional yeast
8 mushrooms, finely chopped 1 1/2 t salt
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/2 C chopped pecans 1/2 tsp basil
1/2 C chopped almonds 1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 C chia seeds or 1/4 tsp savory
1/2 C hulled sesame seeds 3/4 tsp garlic powder
20 oz firm tofu, drained and mashed 5 T tahini
2 T soy flour [ed. note: can use whole wheat flour]  
Instructions:

Saute the onion in olive oil over med. heat for 3 min. Add the mushrooms and cook, covered, for 5 min. Add the garlic and cook 2 min. more.

Place pecans and almonds in food processor or blender; chop until they have the texture of very coarse corn meal. Combine the nuts and other ingredients through garlic powder in large mixing bowl and mix well. Add the tofu and tahini and combine well, using your hands if desired. Press firmly into oiled loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees 1 hour. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with Mushroom Horseradish Sauce.

Serves 6.

[NOTE: Can also be made into balls or burgers, nice because a crisp crust forms around each one. Bake on oiled cookie sheet 350 degrees 12-15 min. each side.]
