Lentil Meat Loaf

Arrow


Because this food contains both legumes and grains, it is a complete protein, providing all the amino acids the body needs, the same way real meat loaf would.

Directions

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a loaf pan.

2.

In a medium saucepan, boil lentils in three cups water until soft. (This may take half an hour or more.) Strain.

3.

Remove lentils to a mixing bowl and mash. Add onions, oats, cheese, egg, tomato sauce, and seasoning. Spread in prepared pan.

4.

Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the top of the loaf is dry, firm, and golden brown.

5.

Cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes:

You can replace the grated cheese with an equal amount of barbecue sauce. (I prefer the cheese-based dish.) This “meat loaf” can be served as is, or topped with a (mushroom) gravy or white sauce.
