Lentil Loaf Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lentils

    Rinse the brown lentils under cold water and then add them to a pot with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until lentils are tender.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion, grated carrot, diced celery, and minced garlic until they are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils (drained if necessary), sautéed vegetables, oats, tomato paste, soy sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Loaf

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and press it down evenly to form the loaf.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is firm and slightly browned.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the lentil loaf cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
