Raw Nut Meatloaf Roll Stuffed with Spinach

This is a meatloaf, stuffed with spinach leaves and rolled up. Like a big, meaty joint, lol. Well, that ought to get me some hits. Heh.

Ok, first I made nut meat meat substitute. This one is walnut, flax, carrot, onion, celery, beet and seasonings like salt. Then I flattened it in a vaguely square shape and covered it with spinach, thusly















Then the rolling begins. I folded up about a 1/4 of it with the wax paper on the top.














I peeled back the paper and then folded it up again, folding over more of the meatloaf, keep rolling it until it's rolled. I really can't explain it but it's easier than I thought it would be and you can do it!!!

It should look something like this when you are done.















I am going to dehydrate it for a couple of hours and then














I will cut it into two pieces, cover it with marinara sauce and return it to the dehydrator until dinner time.

I will update with more photos and reactions after dinner

I was inspired by this: Daily Raw Cafe


UPDATE: It came out ok. There are a few things I would do differently, next time, but all around a great dish!

At this point it had been in the dehydrator for over an hour. I took it out and chopped it in half to make two individual servings. I topped it with sundried tomato & sunflower seed cheese and some raw marinara.















I dehydrated it for at least four more hours and it looked like this:














Ingrid of Raw Epicurean asked me if the spinach wilted after dehydrating. Well, Ingrid, it did a little. It was still kinda fresh, but warm and a little wilty.

Things I would do differently:

I would roll out the meat a bit thinner and longer and use a LOT more spinach.

I would put cheese and marinara on the INSIDE of the roll also, not just on the top.

Let me know if you try this, I would love to hear your variations and reviews!
