Veggie Packed Red Lentil Loaf Recipes

VEGGIE-PACKED LENTIL LOAF RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• To make the flax eggs, combine the flax meal and water in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large saucepan, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the carrot and celery and cook until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the onion and mushrooms. Cook another 3-4 minutes, until the onions are semi-translucent.
• Add another drizzle of olive oil to the pan, then add the garlic, bell pepper, and tomato paste. Cook for 2 more minutes, until the tomato paste is slightly browned.
• Add the salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme, and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
• Add the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 2 more minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Remove the pan from the heat.
• In a food processor, add the lentils, brown rice, oats, flax eggs, and sautéed vegetables. Pulse 10-12 times until the mixture is slightly chunky.
• Transfer the mixture to a parchment paper-lined loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• To make the glaze, combine the ketchup and maple syrup in a small bowl. Brush half of glaze on top of loaf, reserving the other half for later.
• Bake the loaf for 45-50 minutes, or until an fork inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Brush with the remaining glaze, then slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

VEGGIE PACKED RED LENTIL LOAF

Steps:

• Place the lentils and stock in a saucepan. Gently simmer until the liquid has been absorbed and the lentils are soft. Strain in a sieve and stand to allow excess liquid to drain well.
• While the lentils are cooking, fry uncooked vegetables until they are starting to soften and turn golden.
• Place the lentils, cooked vegetables (add any grated root vegetables at this stage) and egg into a bowl and mix. Season well with some herbs, spices and salt and pepper.
• Pour the mixture into a lined and greased 500g loaf tin. Bake at GM 5 / 190°C (fan 180°C) / 375°F for 40-50 minutes until risen, golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow to stand for 5 minutes and then turn out.
• Serve sliced, or let it cool and fry to use as a burger.
