Baked Kale Loaf

I generally don’t follow recipes and tend to use whatever is in the press or fridge. Today I wanted a light loaf without the usual nuts and beans that go into vegetarian meatless loaves. So, here’s today’s version …

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of kale
• 1 shallot
• 1 carrot
• 4 large mushrooms
• 4 medium tomatoes
• Medium sized yellow pepper
• 1/4 cup of walnut oil
• Juice of 1/2 a lime
• 2 cups of jumbo oatflakes
• 1 tablespoon of dried sage
• 1 tablespoon of dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
• 6 tablespoons of water

Directions:

• Clean the mushrooms and slice into a food processor with the carrot and shallot and blend, transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Wash and destalk the kale and blend with walnut oil and lime juice, then add to the bowl and mix with the mushroom and shallot.
• Now blend the tomatoes, pepper, parsley and sage then transfer to the mixing bowl and combine all ingredients.
• Mix chia seeds and water in a glass and set to the side.
• Blend the jumbo oat flakes to break them up and add to the mix.
• Add the chia seed and water, this acts as a binder, and mix thoroughly.
• Use coconut butter to grease a loaf tin or dish and press the mix  down into the dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds or similar on top if you like.
• Bake at 170° for 30 minutes or until top has crisped up.
