Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients

- 2 Cups Shiitake Mushrooms (Sliced)
- 3 Cups Crimini Mushrooms (Sliced)
- 3 Cups Walnuts
- 1 Cup Carrots (Diced)
- 1.5 Cups Onion (Diced)

Instructions
- Pre heat your oven to 350F.
- Sauté everything but walnuts and BBQ sauce for 15 minutes over medium heat in olive oil, leaving the vinegar for the very end of the cooking process to deglaze the pan. Most of the moisture from the tofu and vegetables should be evaporated.
- In a food processor finely grind your walnuts and once fully cooked, process with the remaining sautéed ingredients with the walnuts.
- Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment lined loaf pan and bake at 350F for 40 minutes.
- Spread the BBQ sauce on top and bake for another 10 minutes.
