Black Bean Loaf by Treverva

Ingredients

2 cans black beans, rinsed 1.5 cups quick oats 1 red bell pepper, chopped. 1 carrot, chopped or grated. 1 small onion, minced 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tbsp braggs liquid aminos 1 tsp cumin 3 tbsp ketchup (opt) Black pepper, to taste Water for sautéing.

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350F.
In a medium pan, water saute the onions until translucent then add the garlic, pepper and carrot. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until softened.
In a large bowl, combine the black beans, oats and all seasonings. Add in the veggies that you sautéed and mash with a potato masher or fork until well combine but not mushy, If it isnt moist enough add water and if too moist add oats until it holds together.
Spoon “dough” into a parchment paper lined loaf pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until it has developed a nice crust.
I served with steamed yams and onions and tomato sauce. Enjoy!
