serves 4

450-500 g tofu (firm), mashed
100 g oats
100 g tomato ketchup
75 ml tamari (wheat/gluten free soy sauce)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp dijon mustard (check wheat/gluten free)
1 tsp olive oil
¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground

preheat oven: 180°C, 350°F, Gas 4

1. Mash the tofu, a potato masher works well for this. Alternatively mix in a food processer.
2. Add all of the other ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or process until well combined.
3. Spoon into a 1lb loaf tin, either oiled or lined with baking parchment. Press mixture down, it will be quite spongey so won't compress very much.
4. Bake for 1 hour then remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes. After the resting time place a plate over the top of the tin and turn the tin and plate upside down to release the meatless loaf onto the plate.
5. Slice with a sharp knife and serve hot or cold.

As an alternative to the oats, wheat/gluten free breadcrumbs could be used to make the meatless loaf gluten free, or use gluten free oats.
