Vegan Christmas Dinner - Part 1

What's for dinner tonight? I made vegan Tempeh "Meat" Loaf, using a recipe from the Real Food Daily Cookbook. It starts with grated tempeh. I use soy tempeh, but you can use any of the other types available.



Then you add in chopped vegetables, herbs, spices, ketchup and miso. I leave out the nutritional yeast, because I don't like it. And I use more vegetables than the recipe calls for. I also omit all of the oil, except a tiny amount of oil to grease the loaf pan. I saute the vegetables in water rather than oil. I recommend eliminating the salt. The ketchup and miso add enough salt for my taste.



Press it into a loaf pan, bake, and let cool before slicing.



Here's how it looks after baking:



And here's how it looks sliced:



Stay tuned for the rest of tonight's vegan dinner!
