How to Make Crunchy Vegetarian Nut Loaf

  1. Finely chop 2 celery stalks, 1 medium onion, and 2 cloves garlic. Sauté in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with 1 cup walnuts, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated carrots, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1/2 cup vegetable broth gradually, mixing until a moist but firm mixture forms.
  3. Grease a 9x5 inch non-stick loaf tin (or line a regular loaf tin with parchment paper). Spoon the nut loaf mixture into the prepared tin, pressing down firmly.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
