Vegetarian Meatloaf Recipes

 

Meatloaf...It sounds so warm and filling. The one pictured has just the amount of tomatoes and meat.

 

The Romans enjoyed meat with wine-soaked bread, spices, and pinenuts. Medieval Europe served it mixed with with fruit, nuts and seasonings. Before the invention of the meat grinder, cutting meat was a time consuming activity in the kitchen or butcher shop. The Great Depression sparked an interest in meatloaf due to the need for inexpensive meals. Meatloaf recipes stretched a dollar by using oats and breadcrumbs to make a meal go farther. Today, meatloaf can be as simple as you like or complicated as you conujure. A simple meatloaf has a filler like breadcrumbs and meat. Whereas another can add all kinds of ingredients like: mushrooms, spices, worcestorshire sauce, oatmeal, crackers, Japanese panko crumbs, tomato sauce, rice, minced vegetables, vegetable soup, cereal flakes, eggs, even caramel. It can be glazed, sauced, or naked. The loaf shape is the only limitation - as it may fall apart if you don't use the right ingredients for the loaf.

Depending on your needs, you may choose a "minimally" processed meat like walnuts or Boca meat. It's up to you.
