Walnut and Rice Loaf With Chive Sauce

"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.

  1. This is truly wonderful! I served this as part of a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner here in Canada.The crunch of the walnuts is very satisfying. I did find however..find that the sauce was a bit of a challenge to emulsify. But it finally did and it has just the right amount of tang to bring out the flavour of the veggies. I will definately be making this again and again. Thank you for sharing.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My fiance & I have lived in Melbourne all our lives and we love it, it's so diverse & exciting. We went on a world trip in '04-'05 including the US, UK, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, The Netherlands, Egypt, India & Japan. It was awesome, but great to get home & relax too. :) The link on this page will take you to my YouTube channel which has slide-show videos of my pics, featuring some amazing street art around Melbourne. I think it's rude to leave 1 star ratings! To me it's like eating someones cooking then saying "ERGH!" to their face!! :D So we don't give 1 star ratings. If we really don't like something, then it's no stars & a description of why it didn't live up to our expectations, or we may just remove the recipe from our cookbook & leave it at that. We like cross-promoting recipes in our reviews, to share combinations that work, recipes that inspire & methods people may not have thought of. We can't help but put something of ourselves into each recipe we try <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegn%20swap/vegnswap.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
