WALNUT LOAF

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

9 slices commercial whole wheat bread (about 8 ounces)
2 cups walnuts (about 8 ounces)
3 large eggs
3 medium onions, diced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 small celery rib, minced
1 small bunch parsley, stems discarded and leaves chopped
2/3 cup canned crushed tomatoes or 1 (16-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained very well
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
Generous seasoning freshly ground black pepper
Mushroom Gravy, recipe follows
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms (8 ounces)
1/4 cup unbleached flour
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock, store-bought or homemade
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toast the bread slices either in the toaster or on a baking sheet placed under the broiler. Let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously butter a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, then line the bottom with waxed paper and butter the paper.
  • Tear up the toasted bread slices and make crumbs out of them in a food processor. Place in a large bowl.
  • Process the walnuts until finely ground and mix into the bread crumbs. Combine the eggs and onions in the processor and process until fine but not liquefied. Stir into the bread crumbs. Place the green pepper, celery, parsley, tomatoes, and oil in the processor and grind until fine but still with some texture. Stir into the loaf mixture along with the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix this all very well until evenly moistened. (The mixture may be prepared to this point and refrigerated up to 8 hours in advance.) Scrape it into the prepared loaf pan and smooth over the top. Cover the loaf with foil.
  • Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out dry. Let sit 5 minutes, then run a knife all along the sides of the loaf to help loosen it. Unmold the loaf onto a platter and remove the waxed paper. Let the loaf cool 20 minutes or so before slicing it. It's best to serve the loaf warm and the gravy hot.
  • Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in the flour; it will become very pasty. Cook this roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It will stick to the bottom of the pan a little bit; that's okay.
  • Stir in the stock, wine, soy sauce, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce at a lively simmer for 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly and scraping any crusty bits that adhere to the bottom of the pan. Serve in a sauceboat.

Tips:

  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the batter enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the loaf.
  • Use a combination of flours: This recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. This gives the loaf a nice balance of flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the loaf is cooked through.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the loaf from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This walnut seed loaf is a delicious and nutritious bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your bread sweet or savory, this loaf has something for everyone. So next time you are looking for a tasty and healthy bread to enjoy, give this walnut seed loaf a try.
