Ingredients
...for the loaf…
- 500 g Tofu firm
- 45 g Cornstarch
- 90 g All Purpose Flour
- 2 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 5 g Salt
- 1 vegan Chicken Style Stock Cube
…for the filling..
- 200 g Green Beans steamed
- 200 g Carrot Batons steamed
…extras…
- 2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 4-5 tablespoon Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Sage dry
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Pinch Salt
- 1 Pinch Dry Garlic/Onion optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place all the ingredients for the loaf in a blender and process until smooth. Alternatively, you can pulse a few times if you’d like a coarse texture (like mince), making sure to scrape down the mixture from the side every 2-3 blender pulses.
- Line a pond cake mould with baking paper, brush the bottom and sides with oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with sage, paprika, salt, pepper and onion and garlic (if using) Spread around ½ of the seasoned bread crumbs on the bottom of the loaf tin.
- Pour ⅓ of the tofu mixture in the tin, then distribute half of the steamed green beans and half carrots on top of it. Cover with another ⅓ of the tofu mixture and make another layer of vegetables.
- Pour the remaining ⅓ of the loaf mixture on top of the steamed veggies and beat the tin against a flat surface to get rid of any air bubbles/voids in the loaf.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining breadcrumbs, drizzle some oil on the top and bake for 45 minutes (up to 1 hour). Final texture should be firm and bouncy to the touch.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before taking the loaf out of the tin. Then slice and serve with your favourite sides and sauces.
