When I make beetloaf, I shred the beets and carrots, and dice everything else. Helps distribute the color and makes for less distinct "beet bites"... Definitely adding your garbanzo version into my rotation!

[@lafamillecarrington]

[@j.munday7913]

Or blend a steamed beet into a pastier consistency. That way you get the color, some of the chunks of beet but theyll be softer and meltier.

[@fleedermouse]

OK I made this but I think my cheapo food processor over processed the peas making it way too beany! I want to try again grating the veggies and doing a long soak on the chickpeas and then possibly just coarse chop them to avoid this. The look is amazing and it doesn’t taste bad it’s just beany.

Oats are not strictly GF though. 1-2 people with celiac have the reaction. Also oats are often made in the same facility as the gluten grains so they can contain some gluten from that too.

That looks fantastic! If you cook wfpb oil-free maybe you could replace the oil with walnuts (which can also be used as a meat substitute) or a bit of tahini.

[@Winnipegaussies]

Looks great! And adding Marmite or Vegemite is genius! Consistency wise, you might want to try grading the carrots and mushrooms, as they tend to make the loaf crumble more when added in chunky form. I also like caramelising the onions, to which I add the graded mushrooms and carrots, before adding them to meatloaves and burger patties.

[@madcommodore]

Nice simple recipe. I made meatloaf, of any kind, for the first time a few weeks ago but I used my vegan mince I make from eggplant which is a real effort but gives a nice Cornish Pastie type filling texture for the efforts. This is more like the bean burger patti I tried, which I fine grated the celery and carrot to try and hold it together a bit. I also whizzed up my oats in the food processor on my second attempt at the bean burger patti to make a coarse flour which helped keep things together. Finishing portions off for a couple of minutes in the microwave is great for making them more meaty in texture I find. I had mine with roast potatoes, green beans and gravy as a Sunday lunch.

One of my FAVORITE things to do with loaf leftovers is to make a cold loaf sandwich. I loved plain old white bread, a nice slice of cold loaf, a piece of cheese and SLATHERED with Mayo. Prior to becoming vegan it was of course with meatloaf, real cheese and real mayo. I have made several loafs using lentils and/or other beans. It tasted like beans though. Put into a sandwich it was reminiscent of a meatloaf sandwich as I remembered them. The glaze really helped contribute to the nostalgia, but also the Veganaise (which is REALLY good if you ask me) and vegan cheese has gotten so much better in the vegan world. Even the Lentil or Bean loaf jogged my memory of my favorite meatloaf sandwich. I'm interested in trying this. AND...I look forward to the leftovers to make my sandwiches.

[@lelandunruh7896]

This is actually really close to how I make meatloaf, except with garbanzos in place of some kind of ground meat.

I made this today with what I had and it was good! Beans, beets, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Thanks!

I can vouch for GreenChef. Its some of the best tasting food I've ever had in my life.

This is certainly getting an add to Notes of recipes!!! I miss meatloaf, I’m not vegan, but I don’t eat a lot of red meat either… Sometimes, I just want a chunk of meatloaf or a big sloppy burger!!! I’ve been drinking my Mean Green by Joe Cross since May, but way more consistently now than ever, and I have noticed a major difference… After watching The Game Changers documentary, now I understand better!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽

Also, animals are pumped with antibiotics and hormones (hormone free is usually only for synthetic hormone injections). Plus, the animals suffer immensely, so thank you for choosing compassion.

[@commonsensecorner7275]

@@DA-js7xz Compassion is certainly a thought when making my decisions of what I’m going to eat, but health is certainly first!!! I cannot remember one documentary before watching King Korn, that one should set anyone straight… 🤢🤢🤢 Along with paying attention to who died from what and what kind of diet they had - when you know better, you do better, but so many don’t change!!!

I would love to make a simple white sauce with nutmeg to pour over the meatloaf slices.(white sauce = flour, vegan butter,cashew milk,salt, pepper,grated nutmeg.)

[@taniaallan5702]

Looks yummy! Where do I see the written recipe?

[@Kim-ri1hg]

Totally need to make this ! It has everything I sneak into my meatloafs but with chick peas ! Looks delicious

[@kefirheals7383]

Looks like a recipe I'd try. I will leave out the beets, and add in 1/4 cup rough chopped walnuts for that bite people look for in a meatloaf. Otherwise, looks pretty delicious.

[@fancyoo8670]

I was thinking I'd add walnuts also.. I made a chili using walnuts great "beef' texture

[@daltonjobson8342]

I haven’t watched one of your videos in years, so happy to see you’ve been able to expand your workspace. I mean, you were already making bangers when it was just the one hot plate 😂 can’t wait to try this!

[@sajeevan29]

I don't know how people don't wash their mushrooms 🤮. Great recipe can't wait to try it ❤️

[@benjaminstalcup]

Washing mushrooms is like washing a sponge. A good cook will brush the wood chips off the mushrooms with a clean towel instead of running the mushrooms under water.

[@antoniahamilton3201]

Easily with a veggie brush. There are several kinds available.

[@SomarDee]

I find the salad spinner to be a great way to wash mushrooms and remove the excess water. Well it works for me, and the shrooms come out dry and ready for any recipe.

[@jwoolman5]

If you want to eat the mushrooms dry and raw, washing them just makes them irredeemably soggy. Yuck. But the water absorption doesn’t matter if you are crisping them up in the oven or cooking them in general. I don’t even like to add mushrooms to salad because the moisture makes them too soggy for me - so I eat my raw mushrooms on the side. Yum yum.

[@lydiastevenson8502]

gravy browning which is vegan could be used instead of the beets maybe?

[@alexhurst3986]

Do you post the recipe somewhere? This looks amazing and I'd love to give it a whirl. I am trying to eat less meat and this looks like a winner.

[@mb8732]

For the red/brown color fry beet powder instead of fresh beets. They blend better, provide better color, won’t separate into chunks, and don’t taste as strong.

[@elaexplorer]

WHAT! Who isn't washing their mushrooms?!? Do you know what mushrooms are grown in? They literally say wash before eating on the package. I'm so grossed out now, knowing people aren't washing their mushrooms… just another example of why you can't eat from just anybody's kitchen.

[@crystald3655]

You can not "wash" mushrooms they will absorb the soap and make you sick. Remove the dirt and such and cook them well.

[@EMMYMXNC]

Those who argue not to wash mushrooms suggest it effects the texture when cooking... so instead of washing they peel them. Removes all the stuff you're talking about. It's time consuming and pretentious... but they don't keep the crap on it.

[@surfsusan]

I brush mine clean, with a special tool, knife in one end and brush in the other. The knife is for when I’m picking my own in the forest. Done so for 60 years.

[@thebeigesheep6132]

You realize rinsing doesn't remove everything right? Also part of why they are high in b vitamins is cuz you are literally consuming dirt. It's important for your diet in small quantities

[@mirzamay]

You could use pureed beets since it is mainly for color. Growing up my mother used pureed green beans as a binder to replace the oatmeal to bring the carbs down she got that idea from Weight Watchers

What is is with the beets? I get it (maybe nutritional benefits/color possible to close to color "meatloaf"), but I don't know what it is with them (sugar content?)... I doesn't matter if I know if they are included in a dish or not (vomit). My body don't like them, nor the purple carrots, or certain dark root vegs I get why you may have wanted to use the beats in the first place (Coloring/nutritional value).

[@colliemom22]

Very much appreciate you trying to make some gluten free options for us. Just as an FYI, yeast extract like vegemite and marmite typically isn't gluten free (and the one you used is not gluten free). There is a brand new gluten free vegemite that just came out though. Those of us that are gluten free can certainly omit it entirely or sub for the new gluten free variety, but it might be something you want to mention in future videos.

[@suicune2001]

Do you know if the Better Than Bouillon vegan beef flavor is gluten free? I was going to try that with some molasses.

[@colliemom22]

@@suicune2001 BTW, Orrington farms vegan beef base is gluten free if you're looking for a bullion alternative.

Most people who aren't celiac react to *wheat gluten* not gluten from other grains. For celiac folks: "Yeast extract and autolyzed yeast extract may contain gluten from barley. Manufacturers are not required to disclose the source of yeast extract on the ingredients label, so you should only use yeast extract that is labeled gluten-free or confirmed gluten-free by the manufacturer.'

[@colliemom22]

​@@DA-js7xz That's not really true. Gluten is gluten and the gluten protein is cross reactive in wheat, barley, rye, and spelt. Oat is also something to be very careful of depending on how it is grown and manufactured and even certified gluten free oats can still produce cross reactivity. Either way, its important to clarify sources of gluten, especially for people that are new to the diet.

[@mariabowles5415]

Great video! I'm making this tonight with a few alternates. I don't like mushrooms and I can't have anything tomato based, so I will be using lentils in place of mushrooms and soy sauce in place of ketchup. Also, being a bit lazy I think I will just cook all the ingredients up in a pan without putting them through the food processor, making into loaf or baking. Sounds delish!

[@tanyamartin1388]

You managed to upset the English and the Aussies in one sentence there. Marmite and Vegemite are not the same.

[@kcarm32]

FYI. I made this recipe but instead of chopping, I shredded the beet, carrot and celery in my food processor. No vegetable texture crunch was noticed in the cooked loaf. Might also be worth noting it should be cooked in a glass loaf pan and not a metal one. I used metal and it took forever to cook through. haha.

[@jenuinejoneszenproductions8355]

Celery leaves are very flavorful. Not sure why you are discarding them. 🤔

[@mettiesteiner8038]

I made this and I used flour instead of the seed powder and green onions instead of celery and I loved It! I did less beets but I could've done more as someone who loves beets! I ate it with salt and pepper and no ketchup for my boyfriend. Was good both ways

If you cut beets into wedges, with the skin on, and spritz with EVOO, salt, pepper and roast on parchment paper @375 for 30 to 50 minutes until done. Good when a lil burnt, super crispy. I love beets this way. I would grate roasted beets into the mix to get that "meat" look. These beets are good with a balsamic and honey-mustard glaze and good with goat cheese on a hot or cold salad. Remember you can cook the beet greens super fast in garlic and EVOO and pepper flakes (if the store doesn't cut them off!) same for radish tops, too! My cousin gave me a cookbook from some monks and it had a mix of vegetarian and fish dishes. They had a really nice brown rice and lentil loaf which was easy and tasty. I like farro, as a grain, personally, and cook in boiling water like pasta until al dente and then add to make stuffing, salad, whatever. Absorbs flavors well when still warm!
