A delightful and hearty dish combining the nutty flavors of walnuts and cheddar with the wholesome texture of brown rice.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the chopped onion until it becomes translucent.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion, walnuts, cheddar cheese, lemon juice, eggs, nutritional yeast, caraway seeds, cooked brown rice, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into an oiled loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Press the mixture gently to remove any air pockets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the dish cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Serve with a garnish of fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
