     I’m still thinking about meatloaf, only without the meat. Meatless loaf, Jayme calls it, which I think is a pretty good name, suggesting as it does the origin of the dish while simultaneously denying its original main ingredient. I would have probably come up with something like “tofu loaf.” Which, let us admit it, sounds terrible.

     When I became a vegetarian the hardest thing I had to learn was to make a good gravy. I think you will find this one good over mashed potatoes, meatless loafs, dumplings, Neatballs (page 10), or prepared seitan.

     This might look like a long list of ingredients, but using a food processor to blend everything up makes this recipe a snap to make. I tried many different versions of this before I finally landed upon a recipe that makes a moist, firm meatless loaf that doesn’t fall apart. Pan-fry leftover slices for an excellent “meatloaf” sandwich the next day.
