I was looking through my 1922 "Home Arts and Entertainment" supplement to Women's Weekly (I *love* old magazines) and came across this recipe. I thought of my veggie friends on GCM, so I'm sharing!
2 cups legume puree
2 eggs
1/2 cup toasted bread crumbs
1/2 cup browned flour
2 teaspoons celery salt
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sage
1 cup strained tomato
2 cups nut meal or finely chopped nuts
1/4 cup cream
2 tablespoons grated onion
Cook the legumes, either lentils, peas, or beans, until quite tender and dry. Make a puree by mashing through a colander. Beat the egg, adding the puree and the other ingredients in the order given. Then bake in a loaf in a hot oven twenty to thirty minutes. or until nicely browned. Serve with cream sauce or brown sauce. The mixture may be shaped with a paring knife or spatula to represent a fowl. (kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it!
