Best 4 Veggie Meatloaf With Mushrooms And Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Blitz: Preheat oven to 350°F (186°C). Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to a food processor. Blitz until roughly broken down (you may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your food processor).
• Mix: Stir together mushroom mixture and all remaining Meatloaf ingredients.
• Topping: In a separate bowl, stir together all Ketchup Topping ingredients.
• Assemble: Line a loaf pan (9x5 inch) with parchment paper. Spoon mushroom meatloaf mixture into the pan, pressing to fill any gaps or empty corners. Spoon half of the Ketchup Topping onto the meatloaf, spreading it evenly over the whole top.
• Bake: Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, spread the remaining ketchup over the meatloaf, then bake for another 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into slices and serving.

VERONICA'S VEGGIE MEATLOAF WITH CHECCA SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Checca Sauce: Combine the cherry tomatoes, scallions, garlic, basil, and oil in a processor. Pulse the tomatoes until they are coarsely chopped, being careful not to puree. Set aside. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
• For the Lentil Loaf: Place the lentils in a large saucepan of cold water. Bring the water just to a boil over high heat. Carefully drain the boiling water and rinse the lentils. Meanwhile, in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat, bring the broth to a boil. Add the rice and return the liquid to a boil. Decrease the heat to low, cover the rice, and gently simmer without stirring for 10 minutes. Stir in the lentils, onion, carrot, and celery. Cover and continue cooking without stirring until the rice and lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes longer. Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the corn over the rice and lentils and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Cover and let stand for 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of the butter over a 10 by 4 1/2 by 3-inch loaf pan. In a heavy, large skillet, cook the spinach over medium heat until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze the excess liquid from the spinach. Transfer the spinach to a work surface and coarsely chop.
• In a large bowl, gently mix the lentil mixture, spinach, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, eggs, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, pepper, and half of the checca sauce. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Arrange the sliced tomatoes in a row over the lentil mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Bake uncovered until the loaf is heated through and the topping is melted and starting to brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Slice the loaf into 2-inch slices, arrange on plates, and serve with the remaining checca sauce.
