Tempeh-Tofu Meatless Loaf repost I love this loaf

[Guest guest]

This is one I had already saved (!) and am going to try. I'm not a fan of

walnuts, and I see them used a lot in loaves. I assume it adds something

texture wise, but what about the taste? Can you taste walnuts? (I find they

have a " bitter " sensation that I don't like, but are they less so ground up?).

Can you use another nut? (almonds?).

Yes use almonds. They will work. I lpove walnuts so I don't know of a bitter

taste but I believe you. If one teeny sprig of mint is in a recipe I will

detect it immediately.
