Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 16
• 1/2 cup sesame seeds
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 2 cups firm tofu, mashed
• 1 cup corn flakes, crushed
• 1/4 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup oatmeal, cooked
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350º. spray a 8x8 square baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside (an 8x8 pan makes a crisper loaf).
• 2 grind the sesame seeds into a coarse meal using a food processor or spice/coffee grinder. place in a large mixing bowl.
• 3 mix and mash together with garlic, tofu, corn flakes, oatmeal, pepper, and soy sauce, adding only as much liquid as needed to create a soft, moist loaf that holds together and is not runny (you may not need to add any liquid if the grains and protein are very moist). add more binder/carbohydrate as needed if the loaf seems too wet.
• 4 press mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until cooked through.
• 5 let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn out onto a plate or platter and slice.
• 6 serve with potatoes, vegetables, and vegetarian gravy, if desired.
