Quinoa Loaf

Cooking Instructions

1. Place the quinoa in a medium saucepan and cover it with water. Swish the quinoa around in the water to wash it and then drain it through a fine wire strainer. Return the quinoa to the saucepan and add 2 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Transfer the quinoa to a medium bowl.

2. Crumble the tofu and add it to the bowl. Mash it with a fork. Place the cashews in a blender and coarsely grind them. Add them to the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix everything well, using your hands if necessary.

3. Generously oil and flour a loaf pan, 5-1/2 x 9-1/2 x 3 inches. Firmly pack the loaf mixture into the pan. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Let the loaf stand for 10 - 15 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf, then turn it out of the pan.

4. Slice the loaf and top with the sauce of your choice. This loaf is especially good with Carrot Sauce or Green Sauce . Accompany with a steamed vegetable and a salad.
