What's Cookin': A vegetarian roast Today's recipe is a favorite of my kids. Both kids have decided to go vegetarian, so there has been a mad scramble for non-meat recipes at my house lately. It's very weird, as I am used to being able to pop a roast chicken in the oven and all is well. Not so much anymore. This is a quick recipe though, kind of the vegetarian version of meatloaf. I always double the recipe and bake in a larger pan, but if you are making it for the first time, then try it out in its original version first. I also add more fresh herbs from the garden-- oregano, thyme, chives, parsley all go well in here. It is delicious served with salsa or chutney. In the photo, you'll see that Gerry has served it up with a home- 19 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, October 6, 2011 Lori Gysel & Gerry Kentner made peach salsa-- yummy! For a more wintery effect, caramelized mushrooms and onions over top and served with mashed potatoes is delicious. We were discussing Thanksgiving the other day and were thinking that since the kids weren't going to be interested in turkey, perhaps I could make this recipe and shape it into a bird?
