Instructions
Prepare the flax eggs mixing 2 tablespoons of flax meal or seeds with 6 Tablespoons of water
Dice your veggies
If you are not using oil, in a frying pan begin sauteeing the mushrooms first so they sweat out their moisture on medium to high heat. At the 5 minute mark or so you will begin to see water coming out. Place the carrots, onion, celery, red bell pepper and continue sauteeing for2 minutes. Add the liquid aminos, tomato paste, worcestershire sauce and continue moving the vegetables around for another 3 minutes. Add the garlic cloves and saute 30 seconds and remove the mixture from the stove.
Prepare the rest of your ingredients.
In a food processor combine all of the ingredients and pulse until you reach your desire consistency.
Personally I like a finely processed mix.
Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal and bake for 25 minutes on 375F.
Ketchup and Maple Syrup Glaze
Mix the 1/4 Cup of ketchup and maple syrup to create a glaze and brush on top of the loaf. Place in the oven for 10 more minutes on 375F.
