Instructions
Preheat the
oven to 425°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Transfer to a large skillet. Combine carrot and celery in the processor and
pulse until chopped. Add spinach and pulse a few times more. Add to the
skillet. Set the skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until vegetables
release their liquid. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until liquid
evaporates and vegetables begin to brown, about 8 minutes; add water 1
tablespoon at a time if needed to prevent vegetables from sticking. Transfer to
a large bowl and let cool slightly.
Add chia seeds, ground meat, quinoa, soy sauce and pepper to the bowl and mix
gently with your hands. Scrape mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form
into a loaf about 4 inches wide and 10 inches long; dampen your hands if the
mixture is very sticky. Spread top of loaf with ketchup. Bake until cooked
through and browned, about 40 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
