Ingredients

1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 onion
2 celery stick
1 carrot
1 cup of mushroom
3 cloves of garlic
15 ounces of boiled chickpea
1 cup of breadcrumb
1/4 cup of parsley
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1/4 cup of ketchup
1/4 cup of barbeque sauce
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line an 8" loaf pan with parchment paper.
Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and mushrooms to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and most of the liquid has cooked out, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas until a rough paste forms using a potato masher or food processor. (A few large pieces of chickpeas are OK.) If using a food processor, transfer to a large bowl.
Add cooked vegetables, bread crumbs, parsley, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl with chickpeas.
In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup and barbecue sauce. Add half this mixture to the bowl with the chickpeas. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to the cake mold you prepared and smooth it over. Spread half of the remaining ketchup mixture over the loaf and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the oven. Brush the meatloaf with the remaining ketchup mixture and bake for another 30 minutes.
Then remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and serve.

Tips

Mix all the vegetables through the food processor.
Do not over mix the mixture. Otherwise, the meatball mixture will be moist.
You can use dried chickpeas or canned chickpeas.
Use a potato masher to mash the chickpeas.
You can use tomato paste instead of ketchup.
You can use white onions, yellow onions, or red onions. For more, check out our "Onion Types and Their Uses" article.
You can use homemade or ready-made breadcrumbs. To make the recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free bread.
You can use a bread tin or a cake tin. If you are using muffin cups, cut the baking time in half.
To make the meatloaf easier to come out of the bread pan, grease the bread pan or line it with parchment paper before adding the mixture.
Wait for the meatloaf to cool before cutting. Then slice the loaf.
You can use a food processor or a handheld blender. You can knead the mixture by hand if you wish.
