Mushroom Carrot Loaf Recipes

CARROT & MUSHROOM LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• Finely chop onion and garlic then cook in the oil until the onion is soft.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until they have softened.
• Transfer the onion and mushroom mixture to a medium sized bowl and then add the next 9 ingredients. Mix well together, then pour into a well greased and lined loaf tin.Sprinkle with the remaining breadcrumbs and cheese. Dust lightly with the paprika.
• Cover loaf tin with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake a further 30 minutes or until the centre is firm when pressed.

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
• Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
• Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.

CARROT MUSHROOM LOAF

Steps:

• The prep for this recipe is very easy if you can use a food processor. Use it first to make the bread crumbs, and then grate both the carrots and the cheese without the need to clean in-between. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly oil 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large skillet, saute onions in butter over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, herbs and garlic and continue to saute for about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine carrots, bread crumbs, cheese, eggs and pepper. Add the sauteed mixture and mix well. Spread into the prepared pan and sprinkle with your choice of toppings. Cover the pan with foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for 15 minutes more. Serve hot or warm.

CARROT LOAF

Steps:

• Melt 2 ounces of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and sauté slowly until tender, about 25 minutes. Chop coarsely and place in a bowl.
• Increase heat to high and melt 1 ounce of the butter in the same skillet. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes. Chop coarsely and add to carrots. Set aside.
• Melt 2 ounces butter over medium-high heat in the same skillet, add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Chop coarsely, place in a separate bowl and set aside.
• Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan with aluminum foil. Butter foil with the remaining butter. Beat together 4 eggs, the cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl, add to the carrot mixture and mix well. Add the remaining eggs to the spinach and mix well. Spread half the carrot mixture over the bottom of the pan, cover with the spinach mixture and top with the remaining carrot mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap, cover the loaf pan loosely with foil and place in a roasting pan. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Bake 1 hour or until a knife plunged in the center comes out clean. Uncover, invert the loaf onto a serving platter and remove foil. Slice and serve immediately.
