Walnut and Rice Loaf With Chive Sauce image

This loaf is a tasty and filling dinner. Another recipe from Charmaine Solomon's Complete Vegetarian Cookbook. The carrot, scallions & mushrooms smell fantastic while cooking in the skillet! You will need 2 1/2 cups of cooked brown rice.We would suggest making the loaf a day before & leaving it to cool in the tin over-night in the fridge; we served it directly from the oven & it crumbled when cut. We added a tblsp of light thickened cream to the sauce & preffered it like this.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

The loaf was a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This loaf is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, but I really enjoyed this loaf. The walnuts added a nice crunch and flavor.

This loaf is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have leftover rice in my fridge, so this is a great way to use it up.

The chive sauce is the perfect finishing touch for this dish. It's light and flavorful, and it really brings out the flavors of the loaf.
