Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup brown lentils, dry (190 g)
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups button mushrooms (150 g), chopped
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 carrot, grated
2 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons ground flax
1 cup walnuts, roughly crushed (100 g)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon parsley dry
½ teaspoon oregano, dry
½ teaspoon red chili flakes
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook lentils according to package instructions.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  • In a non-stick pan, sauté onion, garlic and mushrooms in a splash of water, stirring frequently.
  • After a few minutes, add the soy sauce and carrot. Keep cooking until all of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Transfer the cooked lentils along with the sautéed vegetables and the rest of the ingredients for the loaf into a food processor.
  • Pulse a few times to incorporate and be sure not to over-process the mixture! It should still be textured, not smooth.
  • Put the lentil mushroom batter into your prepared loaf pan and pack it down firmly to make sure it stays together.
  • Combine all ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl and mix together. Spread it over the top of your lentil mushroom loaf, then place it into the oven for 45 minutes.
  • Once this time has elapsed, remove the lentil loaf from the oven and set it aside to cool for 10 minutes before taking it out of the pan and cutting it into slices.

Categories     Mains

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large red onion
3 garlic cloves
½ cup (100 gr.) uncooked beluga lentils
2 cups (500 ml.) water
2 stalks celery
1 large carrot (about 200 gr.)
2 small or 1 medium apple
1 cup walnuts (116 gr.)
125 gr. mushrooms
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tsp dried thyme
1.5 tsp salt
½ tsp paprika
A large dash of pepper to taste
1 cup (140 gr.) oat flour
1 cup (140 gr.) oats

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) top and bottom heat. Take out a bread-baking form (diameters about 25 cm long, 11 cm wide, and 8 cm high) and put a baking sheet in
  • Wash the lentils under running water before transferring to a pot alongside 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then turn on low heat and let simmer for about 25 minutes until cooked through. When done, drain any excess water and put it aside
  • Meanwhile, prepare the other "loaf" ingredients. Take out a big bowl so that you can easily add the cut ingredients to it and clear out your kitchen board: Peel and finely chop the onion, as well as grate the garlic. Wash the celery, carrot, apple, and mushrooms. Finely cut the celery. De-stem the mushrooms and chop them into smallish pieces. Grate the carrot. Core the apple and also grate (I tend to use a food processor for both the apple and carrot). In a food processor, pulse the walnuts a few times. Add the lentils and pulse a bit more so that you have a slight "mushiness" (technical term ????). Also, transfer to the bowl. As the last step, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, salt, paprika, pepper, oat flour, and oats. Mix everything through (I tend to use my hands for this step). Put into a bread baking form and really tightly push the mixture in. This step is super important, in order for the loaf to hold its form. Bake for ca. 1 hour and 25 minutes until the top of the loaf has turned golden
  • Take the Lentil Mushroom Walnut "Meat" Loaf out of the oven and let it slightly cool before lifting it out of the form. The loaf will be soft whilst hot and gradually holds its form the cooler it becomes (this is a property of gluten-free baking). The taste is not impacted in any way though. Serve alongside your favorite side dishes and ENJOY!!

Categories     Lentil

Time 55m

Yield 1 loaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup dry green lentils
3 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 large celery ribs, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg (or for vegan ( 1 Tbsp ground flax seed mixed with 3 Tbsp water)
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 cup chopped walnuts (preferably toasted)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Method: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease 8-9 inch loaf pan with oil or cooking spray and set aside.
  • Bring vegetable broth to a boil and add lentils. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 25-30 minutes until lentils are tender and most or all of the liquid is absorbed. Drain any excess liquid and transfer to a large bowl to cool. Note: It' important to let them cool or they will be too mushy when mashed.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet and add onion and celery, saute over medium heat 3 minutes. Add potatoes, garlic, poultry seasoning, and pepper and continue cooking 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
  • With a potato masher, mash cooled lentils (not to the point of being pureed). Add vegetable mixture and continue to mash to combine. Next add the remaining ingredients and mix in - using your hands works best.
  • Transfer to loaf pan and press the mixture in, smoothing out the top so it's even.
  • Bake for 25-30minutes or until top and edges look lightly browned.

MUSHROOM-WALNUT LOAF (GARDEN LOAF)



Mushroom-Walnut Loaf (Garden Loaf) image

I cook the brown rice with a little toasted sesame oil to give it a nutty flavor. I love this recipe. It freezes well and easily reheats. Sometimes I add cooked sausage to the recipe, if I feel like having some meat that week. Otherwise, it's a hearty, satisfying recipe. Serve with mushroom-walnut gravy or my favorite savory sauce.
