Puffball Meatloaf Recipes

Steps:

• If using TVP combine in a stock pot with the stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cover and remove from heat-let stand 30 minutes and drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
• Add the shallots, celery, bell pepper strips, and mushrooms.
• Cook, stirring for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl combine remaining ingredients including the cooked veggies, reserving 1 cup ketchup.
• Add the TVP if using.
• Mix well.
• Divide mixture in-between two small{6x4x3}, oiled loaf pans.
• Top with remaining ketchup and bake for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Wash the Giant Puffball and remove the outer leathery skin like layer. If you see the puffball has begun to spore, throw it away. Wash off any left over dirt.
• Slice the Giant Puffball into 3/4 inch slices (the best you can) I like to use the slices in the middle because they are bigger. Use 2 slices for the recipe. Freeze or dehydrate any remaining puffball immediately or it will not be good the next day.
• Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of each slice. Place the slices on your gas grill. Turn the slices over carefully. They should be slightly crispy on both sides and you should be able to see the grill marks. Puffballs are very moist and spongy and it is necessary to remove some of the moisture with this process.
• Lightly spread tomato pizza sauce (you may also use pesto sauce on your pizza or make sauceless pizza. If you use sauce on your pizza, place a very small amount because the mushroom will still be very moist.
• Cover the top of your pizza with shredded cheese and your favorite toppings. The amount of toppings will depend on the size of your slices.
• Place the slices on a sheet pan covered with tin foil.
• Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven until the cheese turns slightly brown on the top and all of your toppings are cooked through. Again, the length of cooking time depends on how many topings you put.
