Vegetable Walnut Loaf

From Edna Staebler’s “More Food that Really Schmecks”

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs (whole wheat preferred)
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups cooked carrots, chopped
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups cooked or canned peas
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp melted butter

METHOD

1. You may put all of this into your blender or food processor until it is finely chopped, or do the job with a grinder or sharp knife.
2. Mix all together thoroughly, pack it into a well-buttered loaf pan and bake at 350 F for an hour or more. (Edna says an hour — we say about an hour and a half. Foil lining the pan is also a good idea, easier to unmold.)
