Mushroom Walnut Loaf(Vegetarian Meatloaf) Copycat from the Spot image

I was a vegetarian about 10 years ago and I was always trying to find good creative vegetarian dishes. My husband took me to this vegetarian restaurant called The Spot in Hermosa Bch., CA. The food there was AWESOME! They had a cookbook and I bought it! This is one of the recipes in it. I made it years ago and it was FAB! Serve this with the Mushroom Walnut Gravy that I will post next. You don't have to be vegertarian to enjoy this dish! Actually I prefer this over regular meatloaf. =)

MUSHROOM-WALNUT LOAF (GARDEN LOAF)

Mushroom-Walnut Loaf (Garden Loaf) image

I cook the brown rice with a little toasted sesame oil to give it a nutty flavor. I love this recipe. It freezes well and easily reheats. Sometimes I add cooked sausage to the recipe, if I feel like having some meat that week. Otherwise, it's a hearty, satisfying recipe. Serve with mushroom-walnut gravy or my favorite savory sauce.
