Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 8x4 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Place the onion, celery, fresh tomato, garlic, carrots, and salt and pepper into a food processor. Process until the vegetables have been pureed. Add the egg, tofu, and Parmesan cheese; process. Finally, pour in the bread crumbs, and process until evenly incorporated and the mixture is firmer. Pack the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
