Instructions
Glazed in your favorite barbecue sauce, this vegan meatloaf is rich, hearty and comforting. A perfect meatless meal, you’ll want to whip this up again and again.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare rice according to package directions. Allow to cool completely. Coat a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with enough parchment paper to overhang edges.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet set over high heat. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, or until starting to brown. Add onion and garlic and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, until tender and liquid evaporates. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
Pulse walnuts in the bowl of a food processor, until crumbly. Add the mushroom mixture, half of the rice, half of the lentils and parsley. Purée until coarsely ground and ingredients come together into a paste-like mixture. Combine walnut mixture with remaining rice, lentils, bread crumbs, oats, flax meal, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce and soy sauce in a large bowl.
Step 4
Scrape mixture into prepared loaf pan and smooth top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Step 5
Brush loaf with remaining barbecue sauce and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until barbecue sauce is bubbling and sticky. Let stand for 15 minutes. Using parchment paper, lift loaf from pan. Cut into slices and serve.
