Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Sauté the aromatics: In a pan, heat olive oil and cook the chopped onion until soft (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3

Mash & mix: In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas, leaving some texture. Crumble the pressed tofu into the bowl and mix well.

Step 4

Combine flavors: Add the sautéed onion and garlic, soy sauce, miso paste, mustard, nutritional yeast, paprika, thyme, sage, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bind it together: Add oat flour (or breadcrumbs) and the flax egg. Mix well until it holds together when pressed.

Step 6

Shape & bake: Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan or shape into a firm roast on a lined baking sheet. Brush the top with tomato paste or BBQ sauce for a caramelized glaze.

Step 7

Bake for 40–45 minutes until firm and golden brown. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing
