Bring the water to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the rice, reduce

about 35 minutes.
This may be done ahead of time.

over moderate heate until it is translucent. Add the minced bell pepper and
saute over moderate heat until the onion is golden. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, combine the egg replacer with the soymilk, nutritional
yeast cheesy sauce, corn kernels and herbs. Stir in the cooked rice and the
onion mixture and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

In the same skillet, combine the grated squashes with just enough water to
keep the bottom of the skillet moist. Cover and steam until wilted, about
five minutes. Stir in the scallions.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Oil two 9 by 5 by 3inch loaf pans, preferably glass. Assemble as
follows: Transfer about onefourth of the rice mixture to each of the loaf
pans and pat in. Divide the steamed squash evenly betwen the two loaf pans
and pat in over the rice mixture. Top each with the remaining rice mixture.
Sprinkle the tops with bread crumbs.

Bake for 60 minutes, or until the top and edges are golden and crusty.

In the meantime, steam the broccoli until bright green and crisptender.
Drain and toss the vegetable with the margarine.

Once the loaves are done, cool for 10 minutes before slicing loaves into 8
or 10 slices each, allowing for two slices per person. To serve, arrange
ths lices in an overlapping circular pattern on a large platter.
Place the broccoli in the center.
