“A Modern Family TV Dinner”- Vegetarian Meatloaf with Cauliflower Mash and Veggies
This dish was inspired by two of my favorite shows right now. On Wednesday nights you can find me on the couch with my eyes glued to the TV. Like many of you, I am a huge fan of both Modern Family and Top Chef. Last week on Top Chef, the quick-fire challenge asked the chefs to create a TV dinner inspired by a show.
So in an effort to create a TV Dinner, I used the idea of a “Modern Family” dinner by creating a healthy, vegetarian TV dinner. Enjoy!
What You Need (Serves 2):
For The “Meatloaf”:
1 Pkg. Seitan (diced)
1 Cup Chopped Onions
1 Pkg. Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (roughly chop)
1 Cup Lentils (rinsed and drained)
Onion Powder (to taste)
Garlic Powder (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
1/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Set Oven to 400 Convection
1. Preheat a greased saute pan on medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook until the onions are almost clear and the mushrooms are tender.
2. Add half of the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl. Set the rest of the mushrooms aside. Add half of the seitan to the bowl as well as the lentils. Use a hand blender to puree the mixture. Once it is a smooth consistency, add the rest of the mushroom mixture, setian and cheddar cheese. Fold the mixture until well mixed.
3. Grease a cookie sheet. Using your hands, form the mixture on the tray into “meatloaf” shapes about 1/2” thick. It should create about four pieces.
4. Place tray in oven for about 35 minutes. Then remove from oven, flip the patties and place back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
For the Cauliflower Mash:
What You Need:
1 bag Frozen Cauliflower
1/2-3/4 Cup Sour Cream
Butter (optional)
Salt/Pepper (to taste)
1. Cook cauliflower according to package. Puree the cauliflower and sour cream with a hand blender. Season to taste.
