Ingredients

1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

1
In a medium saucepan, combine the drained quinoa and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

3
Add the cumin and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl.
4
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Form a meat loaf.
5
Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes at 200°C, or until done.
6
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before you slice it. Serve with potato salad.
