This is surprisingly similar to meat loaf, and a little bit addicting.  Baking uncovered s important to get rid of excess liquid.

1 cup walnuts
2 onions
4 celery stalks
2 carrots (1 cup)
1 green pepper
8 oz mushrooms
1 med zucchini (1 cup)

2.5 cups rolled oats
1.5 cups cooked bulgur

1 TBSP soy sauce
1 cup plain tomato sauce

2 teasp mustard
½ teasp dry sage
½ teasp dry thyme
¼ teasp pepper
(no salt is needed)

Bread crumbs, approx 1.5 cups.
½ c BBQ sauce (optional), or whatever quantity is desired.


INSTRUCTIONS:

Use food processor to chop walnuts, onion, celery, carrot, and green pepper:  well-chopped but not too mushy. 

Transfer to a large bowl

Combine with the remaining ingredients except BBQ sauce.

Stir, while gradually adding additional bread crumbs until mixture becomes thick enough to be difficult to stir.  

Lightly spray a 5 x 9” loaf pan with cooking spray, or rub a small amount of oil in the pan with a paper towel.  
Transfer the mixture into the pan, smooth the surface, top w/ BBQ sauce.

Bake one hour at 350 degrees *uncovered.*   Allow to partially cool before serving.
