Ingredients
  • 200g Mild Piquanté Peppers (I used Peppadew)

  • 50g cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic (I used the granules)
  • 115g bag of Ryvita Cheddar and Cracked Black Pepper Thin Bites (or breadcrumbs would work too)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • generous pinch of black pepper
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 200g pouch of peal and black barley quinoa (I used a pouch but if you only have regular quinoa then cook first as per the instructions)

  2. Fry off the onion in the oil and garlic on a moderate heat for about 5 minutes ot soften them
  3. Leave to cool
  4. Meanwhile chop the peppers in to small pieces and drain the beans and rinse them
  5. Bash the Ryvita thins with a rolling pins to make shards/crumbs
  6. Place the cooked onions, beans, peppers, sweetcorn, herbs, black pepper, quinoa and broken Ryvita pieces and the beaten egg in to a large mixing bowl and mix well
  7. Add the beaten egg and mix well
  8. Pour it all in to the loaf tin and push down so it fits well
  9. Place in the fridge for at least an hour
  10. Just before you are ready to cook it, pre heat the oven to 180oC / 160oC (fan)
  11. Then place the meatless meatloaf in the oven and cook for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top and hot
  12. I served mine simply topped with a slow roasted tomato and basil pasta sauce - yummy.
