Recipe by Rhiannon and Matt

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.

DIRECTIONS

Turn on oven at 180°C (350°F).
Melt butter in a frying pan and saute carrots for 2 mins, add cumin and stir well.
Add spring onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring, for another 2 mins, then remove from heat.
Stir together the beaten eggs, tomato puree, cheese, walnuts, parsley, salt & pepper.
Combine with the rice and cooked vegetables and mix thoroughly, then taste and adjust seasoning if required.
Generously grease a 28 x 12 cm (11 x 4 1/2 in) loaf tin and line base with greased grease-proof paper.
Pack the mixture in well, being careful to to fill the corners.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 50-60 mins or until firm.
Cool slightly before turning out or cutting individual slices.
To Make Chive Sauce:
In a small stainless steel or other non-aluminium saucepan bring to the boil the wine, spring onions, citrus peel and citrus juice and continue boiling uncovered until reduced to about 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) in volume.
Strain into a bowl, allow to cool slightly, then beat in the soft butter, a small piece at a time.
Stir in the chives and season to taste with salt & pepper.
If you feel the flavour is too sharp, stir in a little thickened cream.
