Vegetable Nut Loaf

This one came from an actual cookbook. Heh. It's really good, I have been meaning to post it for a bit. (I do not know why blogger will not let me actually give this post a title. If someone can edit it, that'd be cool.)

2 large onions, quartered
3 stalks celery, cut into pieces
1 lb carrots, cut into small pieces
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
2 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 c unsalted cashew pieces
2 tbs chopped parsley
2 tsp ketchup
1 tbs Worcetershire
1 egg plus 1 egg white
1/8 tsp each, salt and pepper
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
2 tbs white bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Combine celery, carrots, onion, and rosemary in a food processor and chop fine.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil and sautee the vegetables until soft.
3. Finely chop the nuts in the food processor and add to the vegetables with the parsley. Remove from heat.
4. Combine egg, egg white, ketchup, worcetershire, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
5. Stir the wheat crumb into the vegetable mixture and add the egg mixture and fold together.
6. Pack into foil lined loaf pan and sprinkle white bread crumbs on top.
7. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until firm to the touch.
