Carrot-Mushroom Loaf

"This recipe was the one that convinced me I was finally over my childhood aversion to mushrooms. It comes from "The Moosewood Cookbook" by Mollie Katzen, the book that basically taught me how to cook (and Mom, of course). This is not really a loaf (it's in a 9 x 13 pan), but I am going to honor the original chef's wishes and continue to label it so. Artistic license, I guess."

Questions & Replies

  1. Your recipe for carrot-mushroom loaf calls for a pan that is 9 x 13. That is not a loaf size pan. Is this an error?

  1. This ended up being a pretty good dinner; we kind-of substituted it as meatloaf and served mashed potatoes on the side. I guess I'd rather vary the vegetables a bit more as I thought it was a bit too carrot-y, maybe some spinach and red peppers or something. But overall, it was pretty good!
     
  2. This was lovely. I only had 3/4 of a cup breadcrumbs so I also used about 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup oats. Thanks for posting the recipe.
     
  3. This is a requested dish for Thanksgiving.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find. When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here). I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year. The picture above is (from left) Andrea, me, and Kris, on our first annual Tacky Tourist Weekend.
