When I saw the recipe for No-Fu Love Loaf in Let Them Eat Vegan by Dreena Burton, I knew I had to make it for dinner once the weather cooled. The recipe seemed ideal since I try to limit my soy consumption. And guess what? It was! No-Fu Love Loaf is a vegan meatloaf made with lentils and bulgur instead of tofu, TVP, or seitan. There are variations to make it gluten-free so everybody can enjoy a slice or two! Lucky for you, Dreena has the recipe posted online.
I think there is a similar recipe in Carribean Vegan that I have made. I am not sure if it calls for bulgur, but there are definitely lentils on the ingredient list. These loafes are so great.
I haven’t tried that one, does it hold together well?
As usual, beautiful photo!
Hi Maggie! The loaf holds together really well. Just make sure to cover it when you reheat slices to keep it from drying out.
You’re right! Made it last night and it was super good. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Yay! It makes a nice sandwich filling as leftovers.
Ooh wow! I love that this is tofu-free and that there’s a gf option – thanks for the heads up :)
What is the size of the glass pan used for this loaf? I made it in a 9X13 inch pan
and ended up having to triple the topping. :)
Hi Ivan! You need to use a loaf pan for this recipe (an 8×4-inch pan or a 9×5-inch pan).
Ah, that explains it. This is a winner regardless; I’ll be making it repeatedly.
