Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 (14.0-ounce) packages firm tofu, drained
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs, preferably whole wheat
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- Olive spray oil
Method
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Lightly oil a 9-inch loaf pan with spray oil; set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion, carrot, garlic and parsley and cook until softened and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, wrap tofu in 3 or 4 layers of paper towels and gently press out as much water as possible, changing the paper towels once or twice as needed.
Crumble tofu into a food processor and then add bread crumbs, ketchup, tamari and Worcestershire and puree until smooth.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in onion mixture.
Spoon tofu mixture into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake, uncovered, until deep golden brown and firm to the touch, about 1 hour. Cool slightly before slicing.
