Call this a vegan meatloaf if you want to, but it’s really a nut loaf. And it’s delicious. It yields plenty and can be served many different ways, such as a in a sandwich, alongside mashed potatoes, mac and vegan cheese (I call it cheese because I have no other name for it other than cashew goo, and that is not a very appetizing name). Just yesterday I made a sandwich, added some horseradish, and some ketchup. Delicious! It’s best served with a gravy, like mushroom, or with ketchup. I can even imagine this being heated up in a tomato sauce for a bolognese of sorts, or even vegan meatballs? Hmm? That said, this has the option for a little culinary creativity. Did I mention it’s delicious? Give this a try. It’s really easy to make and you can improvise a bit once you are comfortable with it.
