4 peeled carrots, shredded fine (in a food processor or powerful blender)

2 stalks celery

1 onion, peeled

1 bell pepper, seeded and stemmed

3 cloves garlic

2 cups ground cashew

2 tbsp salt

2 cups Panko bread crumb

Preheat oven to 400

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl

Grease a 13x9 pan and spread mixture into pan evenly.

Cover with foil tightly and bake at 400 for 1 hour

Best to allow the loaf to set overnight in the fridge covered, and bake again at 350 for 30 minutes or till heated through. Since there is minimal binder in the recipe this extra set allows it to really "set up" and allows for easy cutting into slices

Top with apricot jam or your favorite local bbq sauce!
