Step 1

In a non-stick skillet, sauté the onion and celery in the olive oil for 5 minutes or until almost tender. Add the garlic and sauté an additional 1 minute. Add the almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, parsley, thyme, and sage, stir well to combine, and sauté the mixture an additional 2-3 minutes or until the nuts are fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, place the breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast flakes, salt, and pepper, and stir well to combine. In a small bowl, place the water and egg replacer, and whisk vigorously for 1 minute or until very frothy. Add the nut mixture and egg replacer mixture to the breadcrumb mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 3

Using a little olive oil, lightly oil (or mist with oil) an 8 x 12-inch baking pan. Transfer the nut mixture to the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the loaf to cool for a few minutes before cutting into pieces. Serve as a main dish, sandwich filling, or add to soups, salads, and side dishes.
