Ingredients
1 (16 oz.) package of lowfat tofu
(We used Nasoya Silken.)
1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas
1 box (26.455 oz) Pomi CHOPPED tomatoes
(We chose Pomi because it had significantly less sodium than even the no salt added canned diced tomatoes.)
2 cups bulgur wheat
1 cup oatmeal (not quick oats)
6 egg whites
1 large carrot
2 stalks celery
1 large onion
1 hot green pepper (remove seeds)
1/2 cup fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic
1 cup water
3 Tbsp. dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. low sodium ketchup
3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp. basil
fat-free cooking spray
2 cups low sodium pasta sauce
(We used Walnut Acres Organic Low Sodium Pasta Sauce.)
1. Combine drained tofu and drained chickpeas in a bowl and mash together.
2. In a separate large mixing bowl combine the next 4 ingredients (tomatoes, bulgur wheat, oatmeal and egg whites). Then stir them in with the tofu mix. Let stand for 15 minutes.
3. Dice the next 6 ingredients (carrot, celery, onion, hot green pepper, parsley and garlic). Cook the diced ingredients over medium heat with 1 cup water in a non-stick pan for 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Pour contents of pan into the bowl with tofu mix and stir together.
4. Add mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire, thyme, cumin, black pepper and basil to tofu mix. Make sure ingredients are thoroughly combined.
5. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray the inside of two 8.5 x 4.5 inch bread loaf pans with Fat-free cooking spray. Divide the tofu mix in half and spread each half evenly in a bread pan.
6. Bake the loaves at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes to cool. Top with low sodium pasta sauce and serve.
Yield: 8 or 12 Servings
