Sounds so good,Thanks for sharing!

[healthisraw1]

music and food can create so much joy.

I am curious to see if people like my stuff, I wanna do a book.

being a cooked food chef I do love creating but the lack of health benefit to others hurts me, I hope someday to teach the raw food creations that foster joy and health.

be well
Bill

[Nini]

2 1/2 portabellas or 2 1/2 cups portabellas???

Just checkin'........

[mbf]

Well this looks really good. Finally a list of ingredients I like. I have tried a few nut loafs and didn't like the ingredient list to start but try hoping I won't taste those ingredients...no such luck! Luckily our dogs eat anything!

Thanks for the recipe. I will put it away with our fall recipes.

Mara

[healthisraw1]

2 & 1/2 portabellas

thanks for all the nice comments I hope you all love it!

I sure did

Bill

[Lay-Lay]

What does it taste like? The old real deal! I bet if it does, Doe's ketchup would be good on it.

[healthisraw1]

the tesxture at 9 hours was still semi soft but not mushy, it had a great balance to all the ingredients and I used a raw marinara, but raw ketchup would rawk.

Ive mad many raw foods, especially pate's but this was the best i have ever had.

I have eaten at Julianos, its great but sometimes to salty or spicy, and I love hot but it seemed unbalanced.

I have had Elaine Love's Food, I love her stuff

I have had Chef Sprouts food, another jem.

and The Boutenkos, A+

Also Lacey Jackson also excellent

so I am inspired by them and so many I have yet to have the pleasure of tasting.

Someday I hope to be mentioned in the same sentence with their great foods and dedication to raw living.

TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE IT.

THANKS

[Lay-Lay]

Thanks I will!

[Nini]

It is in the dehydrator. I will report back!!

[healthisraw1]

cant wait to hear what you thought

I hope you love it

ill be waiting for your post.

Bill

[healthisraw1]

where did you get your certification?

I want to but its time consuming and Im a salaried F & B manager that works from 55 to 80 hours a week depending on business.

I know about Living Light Culinary Institute

Thanks Bill

I will be waiting for your review, it'll be interesting how raw chefs like my food.
I am a cook of 27 years, transfering to raw recipes is a fun challenge.

Now all I need is a Good RAW JOB

thx again

[Nini]

I am having an early lunch because I couldn't wait any longer to try the meatloaf!

It is absolutely the best I've tried. I made a well down the middle of it, like the traditionalists do, and put raw ketchup in it. The only thing I would do (for my own taste) is less pablano - maybe even eliminate it.

So tasty!! I want to take this to my next potluck.

Thanks for the recipe, Bill.

Nini
:)

[healthisraw1]

i ate the whole thing in one sitting, I could not stop.

omitting the poblano probably would be great also..............
i had one so i used a piece

I have even thought about a spicy version using habanero and topping it after done with fresh salsa.

Thank so much for trying it so quickly and if you take it to the potluck I would love to hear about that.

have a grateful day
Bill

[raven]

i'll definitely try this recipe. i assume you used unsoaked walnuts but that you could substitute soaked and dehydrated walnuts. i think soaked walnuts would change the texture.

suzy

[Nini]

I made the meatloaf, eliminating the chili pepper and adding some Italian seasoning. Then I rolled it into meatballs. After dehydrating them, I poured marinara sauce over them. So good. The best recipe for meatballs, yet.

[healthisraw1]

Nini,

i had thought of that the moment i made it but did not try it yet, glad to hear they are so good.

ill be trying that soon.

toasting to the creative mind, I raise my glass to you.

Peace Bill

[JEN]

Its in the dehydrator and I cant stop picking at it :D . I added a little chili powder too. Its delicious and its not even done yet. Thanks for the great recipe!!

[healthisraw1]

did it get out alive, or did ya nibble it all?

i did the same i tested it a little from like 5 hours on, found that at 9 it was so good I ate the whole thing.

one of these days Ill make 4 and try them at 9, 10, 11, & 12 hours

may need some tatse testers for that experiment.

let me know how you liked it....................the chili powder sounds good too

enjoy, Bill

[JEN]

Wow!! This is the best loaf ever!!! I made Doe's ketchup to go on top and it is absolutely delicious. You werent kidding when you said you cant stop eating it. Everyone should try this. I added a little chili powder to it and it tastes like a barbeque meatloaf. Thanks so much Healthisraw1.

[healthisraw1]

it means so much to me to have people like my food, and coming from someone certified is really cool. I hope to get certiied in the near future. who did you certification?

thanks again Bill

[JEN]

I was recently certified by Alissa Cohen who has given us this lovely forum. She also has a wonderful book and dvd out, Living On Live Foods. She is a magical person.

Now about the nibbling....I did finish it today but I started on it last night. I couldnt stop picking at it all day. It is the closest loaf to SAD Ive tried since going raw. Im usually not crazy about burgers and loafs but since I love mushrooms I decided to try this one. Once again....Wow!

[Nini]

I modified it a bit because my family used some ingredients and I didn't realize it. But they raved about it.

I used 3 portabellas and 3/4 c. walnuts. (All I had...) I left out the chili pepper and added some fresh herbs that I had. Basil and chives. I smothered the top with ketchup after about 9 hours and dehydrated it another 3 1/2 hours.

I took 4 large loaves and a bottle of my raw ketchup to add if they wanted it.

I took a pic and will try to upload it this week.

Thanks from everyone there!

Nini

[Guppy]

Healthisraw - You've got a winner with this one!! I made these as patties i/o a loaf and I ate two before they were even dehydrated. Very delicious and "meaty"-mushroomy tasting.

Thanks for sharing this!!
emily

[raven]

it's in the dehydrator now. can't wait to try it.

suzy

[healthisraw1]

Ill be making these and all of your variations in the coming few weeks.

keep enjoying raw

Bill

[mcasburn]

The "dough" is in my fridge and will go in the dehydrator tomorrow morning... I also made Doe's catsup to go with it. Can't wait!

[madmel]

Gee, I really have to try this recipe! Picture me drooling...

Which sauce would you recommend to go with the not meat loaf?

cheers,
mel

[Lady Green Jeans]

I am looking forward to trying this recipe, too. Couple of questions, though: Do you soak the sun dried tomatoes? How fine of a consistency do you process this to?

Thanks for sharing what sounds like a fantastic recipe! I'll post my results as soon as I make it.

Kathy

[healthisraw1]

I did not soak the Sundried Tomatoes i thought they would help the consistancy, I ground it all until it was fine but still discernable i did not want a complete puree. When done it should have the texture of an original meatloaf.

I hope you enjoy it.

ps. I tried it with raw marinara, but ketchup or bbq would all be great
experiment, great thing about recipes is they are guidelines not laws.

Enjoy and thanks Bill

[eachpeachpearplum]

Could someone post the link to the ketchup recipe; it would be nice to have it here with this recipe. . . .THANKS!! :p

[Nini]

My ketchup recipe:

Jan’s Raw Ketchup

6 ripe tomatoes, seeded
½ c. sun-dried tomatoes (opt.)
dash of agave nectar
½ t. cinnamon
½ t. cloves
1 t. allspice
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
1 t. sea salt

Blend until smooth. If the flavor is too strong, add some seeded tomatoes until it is just right. If I don’t have agave, I use stevia or dates. I prefer agave, though. Remember, the taste is stronger after dehydration.

I pour it into 9x13 pans and dehydrate it until thick. Usually 3-4 hours. If you forget about it and it is too thick, put it back in the blender with a little tomato and blend!

I always adjust the seasonings, again, after I dehydrate it.

[JEN]

Mel, I used ketchup on mine, Doe's recipe. It was awesome!! I also added a little chili powder to mine since it called for cumin and the two go so well together.

EPPP if you do a search for ketchup you willl find Doe has a list of recipes for many different condiments including one for ketchup.

Again I have to say this loaf is really great tasting and very similar to the real deal! Bill hurry up and write a recipe book!!!

[karenbeel]

I agree with you JEN, Bill you need to get writing that book :D !!!!.
Blessings Karen

[Cinnamon]

I've been trying to search for Doe's Ketchup recipe (along with her list of recipes which sound wonderful!) but after going through pages of her posts I still can't find it. I guess I am "search impaired!"

If someone has a link it would be most appreciated, thank you!

[mcasburn]

Here you go!
http://rawfoodtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10552&highlight=condiments

I left the loaf in my dehydrator all day, and came home to find it had cooled. I have it turned back on, but I keep nibbling... and nibbling... and nibbling... I omitted the poblano and smeared Doe's ketchup on top.

It is OUTSTANDING!

[madmel]

mcasburn, Thanks for the link!

That are great condiments! Thank you, Doe :)

mel

[Cinnamon]

Yes, thank you mcasburn and Doe, what an excellent list of condiments! Wow!

[Cinnamon]

Okay, how do I even describe how wonderful this recipe is?? Absolutely delicious!!

The only changes I made was to add some chili powder and I didn't add the Poblano Pepper or salt. I made 6 patties and for 2 of them I added some oat flakes (rolled in my mill grinder). Both versions are just way too good!

Next time I may add a bit of minced onion before I put them in the dehydrator and maybe a bit of Italian seasoning. Tomorrow I will make some ketchup and take some pictures.

Now I am not much of a raw main dish person, I eat a pretty simple diet and of course desserts! I have such trouble finding main dishes that I like and believe me I've tried plenty, but this one is certainly a favorite and will be a mainstay of my diet!

Thank you Bill!

[dogmd]

where did you get your certification?

thx again


Hey Ive got a good RAW JOB for ya.. Come on and move on down to sunny california.. My family needs a full time raw chef!! I am looking for one presently!! :)

[honeybee joy]

I will have to try this when I am in a meat loaf mood. Thanks!

[healthisraw1]

are you serious? if so i may be interested. I grew up in socal...................where are you? would it be full time? what are you willing to pay? etc.

living in LA would have to be well worth my while, cost of living is rediculous, and traffic is worse. I lived in the San Fernando Valley for all but 4 of my 46 years. I am not against going back but it would absolutely have to be a perfect situation.

email me if you wanna talk about this more.

wseaberry@yahoo.com

[rawfigure]

I would like to try but allergic to walnuts, and senstive to pecans. Can make it with out nuts or sub ???

[carolg]

Condiment link:

http://rawfoodtalk.com/forum/showth...ight=condiments

Thanks for sharing it before but may have been missed.

Tons of great condiments including ketchup. See all of Doe's condiment recipes.

carolg

[carolg]

My mouth is beyond watering for the "meatloaf" but more like a river needing mushrooms and walnuts. I do have almonds but may have to hit the stores tomorrow and for walnuts and musrhooms. I can't wait to add the ketchup.

I have tons of carrots so maybe I'm going to make carrot burgers in the dehydrator as well as my "pulpy" burgers tomorrow along with the loaf. May as well get everything going at the same time.

Made some dehydrated tomatoes but don't know if it's worth all the time for the small amount I use. I can buy organic sundried local at good price.

I'm hoping local stores have Alissa's book. I know I can order online.

carolg

[healthisraw1]

I havent tried it but you may be able to sub sprouted beans or lentils.

Sunflower seeds, Flax seeds may work if youre not allergic to them.

taste and texture may change but overall it should still be very good.

if you try any of these please let me know how it is.


Enjoy!!!!! & good luck. Bill

[NuttyRawMom]

Has anyone tried this with plain old button mushrooms? Would that change the flavor compared to portabellas, and how many would you use? I haven't seen portabellas where I am, but am dying to try this! I haven't had portabellas since eating at Olive Garden in my old SAD days long ago and don't know how the 'raw' taste compares to button mushrooms.

btw, I use finely chopped mushrooms (from the food processor) in my marinara sauce as a 'spaghetti bolognese' or meat sauce. For my finicky kids, they love it, as I call it 'spaghetti like Grandma makes!' They absolutely can't stand mushrooms when they can tell what they are, but gobble that sauce up. My hubby and I eat it on zucchini pasta, but we are still working on that with the kiddos. They have my raw sauce on whole wheat spaghetti noodles. Hopefully one day....:rolleyes:

[spicyfull]

Thanks for sharing.......Hope everything goes your way.

I will try this. I made Julliano. It was just too nutty. So the next time I get in the mood I will do this......

[wyjoz]

I saw a picture of meat balls stuffed with a little cheese inside. So when you bite into it there in a center is this little white/cheesy nuget;

it should work with Alissas Meatloaf p 419 made into balls or the above recipe made into balls stuffed with:

RP's gooy Motzarella? http://rawfoodtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19342&highlight=gooey+pizza+cheese post #8 sounds good Joz

[Bobbie]

These meatballs sound amazing!

I always put mushrooms in pasta sauce too. Sometimes I marinate them first.
My mum and I don't like zucchini spaghetti either (she's a finickity eater, its like trying to feed a child) but we both like pasta sauce with hijiki seaweed (it looks like black spaghetti) or with zucchini sliced with a vegetable peeler, to make paper-thin strips.
Sometimes I mix pasta sauce with sliced mushrooms, pine nuts and chopped cauliflower.
You could also use your pasta sauce with mushrooms to top cauliflower-mash-potato or to make lasagna, pizza or ravioli.
You could use it as the filling for a pie, or calzone, or serve it on a slice of raw bread such as mediterranean almond bread. (its under the thread better than sliced bread).

[Bobbie]

And of course you could pour it over meatloaf or burgers. Alissa said she pours marinara over stuffing. (noasted turkey)

[CAdreamer]

Made this into burgers (thinner) this morning, and paired it with a bread made from Cynthia's corn chip recipe for a sandwich....WOW....

I tweeked both recipes just a tad to accomodate our taste, but they are definitly 'keepers'....thanks

[Bobbie]

I tried to make it but I couldn't find my parsley, it's gone walkies.....(come back!)...so...the rest of the ingredients are still in my food processor.

And I'm really jealous, that you managed to make it at exactly the same time I was failing to.

[ndpoohgirl]

Bill thanks So much for this great recipe!
I too tweaked it a little for the things I didn't have so I didn't use red peppers, parsley or poblano but I did use jalapenos. I had 5 mushroom caps so that's what I used. It was WOnderful! I made a salsa for the top but didn't dehydrate that part at all. It's so great how the loaf actually looks like the real deal too! It was hard to stop eating! I finally forced myself to put it away though so I'd have some for today :D Thanks again Bill! Where do I sign up for a copy of your cookbook!! ;)

[Bobbie]

OOh I finally made it!!

I didn't use poblano. It's in the dehydrator now, can't wait to try it.

[Lady Green Jeans]

Just made this recipe and it is sooooooo good. Made into patties and dehydrated. Did not top with ketchup or bbq--just plain and left for about 4 1/2 hrs--just perfect.

Thank you for posting this delicous recipe.

[Bobbie]

Mine tasted sour, was it supposed to?

I didn't particularly like it which surprised me, but my mum really loved it. I served it with chopped romaine lettuce with oil/vinegar/braggs dressing.

[maraw]

Oh, meatballs! I can't wait to try it!!! My kids love meatballs, but are vegetarian. I am definitely going to try this one tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing!

[wyjoz]

here's a link to a picture of the meatballs:

[maraw]

I made the meatballs - we are having them for dinner! WOW! Is all I can say. Seriously, these are wonderful. I can't stop pulling them out of the dehydrator! I hope there are some left...

I tweeked the recipe a tad to allow for our tastes, but otherwise it is the same.

2 1/2 portobello mushrooms
1/2 C walnuts
1/2 C pecans
1 large carrot
1/2 red bell pepper
1/3 C sun rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes
3 T parsley
2 T sesame seeds
6 black olives
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. sea salt
touch of water - about 2 T.

[Lady Green Jeans]

healthisraw1,

I love this recipe! I ended up using my dehydrated patties over spinach salad with mangos and a spicy thai peanut (almond butter) dressing. Awsome. Had this almost every day for lunch this past week and could do again this week but ran out of meatloaf patties.

Thanks again for sharing your recipe.

[Petals]

This recipe is amazing! I knew I had to try it when I read it. I subbed button and crimini mushrooms and used a habanero pepper. I soaked the walnuts, and homoginized them and the mushrooms together.

I thought it was delicious not dehydrated too. It would be good in salads and wraps. I made a meatloaf sandwich with it and rawkinloc's garlic bread that I will put up tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe, it's a winner in my book!

[ndpoohgirl]

So when you use black olives, what kind are you using? Now I'm confused :o
Thanks!

[Nimmanu]

I wish my dehydrator would get here so I can try this. My mouth has been watering over this recipe since before I even went raw!

[Pansy]

This recipe is great! We had it today for lunch with some marinara sauce and salad. I made little meatballs with my meatball maker gadget.

Aren't some gadgets....the best!

Thank You,

Pansy ;)

[Missrawdiva]

This Is The Best! I Ate It Three Days This Week!!!

Thanks for the bump. I have this on my list to make this weekend... Yum

[Aleesha Sattva]

oh i am sooooooo going to make this. i've kept notes of all the different versions as well!

[Elisabeth]

We had this yesterday with a spicy-sweet ketchupy sauce on top. It was delicious! It dehydrated for probably about 10 hours or so.

I omitted the carrots and added a little more mushroom, walnut, and sundried tomato to make up for it. I also added some smokehouse pepper.

I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks! :)

[rawbutterfly]

After reading this thread, I couldn't wait another day. I made these into meatballs with just a couple variations- I used pine nuts instead of the sesame seeds and all walnuts, no pecans. All I can say is wow! I have been eating them plain and can't wait to try them with a marinara or ketchup. Thanks for this recipe. It is going in my favorites!

[lavendarJ]

Glad I saw this...I bet I could get my nieces and nephew to try this out....

[klomasius]

Bumping this in time for Christmas because it's REALLY good! I lost the recipe I copied ages ago and had to do some hardcore searching for it. I see others love it enough to bump it as well, eh veganforlife?

I use this recipe as a burger, it makes kick ass burgers you can really get your teeth into. I'll be making these as part of our raw Christmas picnic lunch.

TRY IT!

[Coolexplosion]

I know I'm mini-necroing but, I am not the first. Question: Did you guys soak the walnuts?

[KPainter]

Hmm. The only thing I did different was use green peppers instead of red (all I had) but I wasn't that impressed. I wanted to be! They were okay, but not great. I wonder if I did something wrong.

It really is one of these best recipes for "meatloaf" I have tried, and with Cheries's Garlic toast/bread~~~ omg! delicious! with some kale chips too would be good.

[FloridaPatty]

Could you please tell me how many cups of carrots, peppers, sun dried tomatoes and teaspoons of cumin? Does anyone else see the funny 'A's instead of numbers?


Mushroom Nut Loaf
1. 2 ½ Portabella Mushrooms
2. 1 C Walnuts
3. ½ C Carrots
4. ½ Red Bell Pepper
5. 1/8th C Parsley
6. ½ C Sun dried Tomatoes
7. 1 inch piece of Poblano Pepper
8. 1 Clove Garlic
9. ½ tsp of Cumin
10. 1 tsp Celtic Sea Salt

my guess would be those are just 1/2 cup or tsp.

and i am definitely making this soon! i love neatloaf!!!!! :D

[Coolexplosion]

I tried this recipe and found that it tasted too much like cumin. It needed to be cut down severely or maybe even cut out.
