15 oz Can beans; rinsed & drained
3/4 c Diced red beets;

This is especially fun to serve in a heart-shaped pan on Valentine's
Day, but if you don't have one, you can make the loaf in a square or
round baking pan or in a loaf pan.

Combine the quinoa and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil
over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the
quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove
from the heat and set aside to cool. You can cook the quinoa well
ahead, if desired, and refrigerate in a covered container until
needed.

Preheat the oven to 375?F. Lightly oil an 8 or 9" baking pan or a
loaf pan or spray with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the cooked
quinoa and process to combine well. The mixture should be finely
ground but with some texture remainig. Transfer the mixture to a bowl
and add the reserved quinoa, stirring to mix well.

Taste and adjust the seasonings, then transfer the mixture to the
prepared pan and smooth the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake
until firm, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and let the loaf cool
for 10 to 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a plate by
placing a plate over the loaf and inverting it. Slice and serve.
