Nut Loaf

I was a bit skeptical about this but it turned out great! I will make it again.

This hearty entree can easily be served instead of a meat loaf. Simply add gravy or a side of mixed vegetables.
Serves 10
  • 4 cups mixed nuts (such as cashews, almonds and sunflower seeds)
  • 1 jar Tomato Sauce (I used one small can)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons Amino Acid (I omit)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon coriander, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, optional (I omit)
Directions
Grind nuts in food processor or blender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
In a small skillet, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil. Mix sauteed veggies (onion & garlic), seasonings, tomato sauce and nuts in a bowl. Stir in honey and the Braggs Amino Acid.
Mold nut mixture into a loaf on a cookie sheet. Bake loaf for 20 minutes or until brown in a 400 F oven.

Peanut Soup

This one is from a bed and breakfast in Gettysburg, PA. If you like peanut butter this is really good and it freezes well.
