I've been making it for many years, thanks to Deborah Madison's recipe in The Greens cookbook. I'm wondering why she wasn't credited, considering that the only thing that was changed was to specify Gruyere cheese? I'm disappointed that proper attribution wasn't given to a fine vegetarian chef.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan 1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms 1 1/2 cups walnuts 1/2 cup cashews 1 yellow onion, finely chopped (1 cup) 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves) 3 ounces shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped (1/2 cup) 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (or 1 cup dry rice) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage, leaves, plus more for garnish 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 12 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater 1 cup (8 ounces) cottage cheese 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan, line bottom with parchment paper, and butter again; set aside. Place dried porcini in a small bowl; add boiling water to cover. Let soak 20 minutes; drain, finely chop, and set aside.

Toast walnuts and cashews on a baking sheet until lightly browned and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Finely chop with a sharp knife, or in the bowl of a food processor, set aside. Increase oven heat to 375 degrees.

Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add shiitake mushrooms and the reserved porcini; cook, stirring constantly, until all the mushrooms are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in rice, the toasted nuts, parsley, marjoram, thyme, sage, eggs, Gruyere, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper.

Pour mixture into prepared pan, and bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan 20 minutes, then invert loaf, and remove from pan. Serve hot or warm, garnished with sage leaves.
