Chickpea Loaf

Dense baked savory loaf covered in red tomato sauce for Chickpea Loaf

How do you make vegan chickpea loaf?

Blend chickpeas with rosemary and oil; mix with breadcrumbs and broth until you form a compact loaf. Prepare a tomato sauce with onion and wine. Cook the loaf briefly in the sauce, then bake it on its own at 200°C for 15 minutes. Serve covered with the remaining sauce.

Delicious and easy to make. I love it because it is a complete meal if we serve it with a salad. We can prepare it in advance; just bake it at the last moment and it is ready.

  8. Stir well and in a couple of minutes the alcohol will have evaporated.

    Recipe step
  9. At this point, add the tomato sauce.

    Recipe step
  10. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Preheat the oven to 200°C (395°F).

  11. Place our loaf on top of the sauce and stew it for about 5 minutes.

    Recipe step
  12. Remove the loaf and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with a little breadcrumbs and bake for 15 minutes.
