method
Place the quinoa and water into a pot. Bring to boil, reduce the heat and cook for 30-35 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed.
Preheat the oven to 170oC and line a 10cm x 22cm loaf tin with baking paper.
Fry the onion, garlic and celery in the olive oil. Allow the mixture to go dark as possible without burning. This will give a nice deep dark color to the loaf.
Add the wine and continue to cook until all the wine has been absorbed. Remove from heat. Combine with the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and bakes for 40-50 minutes, or until the loaf is firm to touch.
Allow to cool in the tin for at least 15 minutes before turning out. Serve with mushroom gravy made from Plantasy Gravy Mix.
