LENTIL LOAF

[Guest guest]

I will post the original recipe and at the end I will post how I made it.

My daughter said she would eat this one again. YEAH!!

 

2 cups finely chopped onions

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil

2 cups cooked lentils (about 3/4 cup dry, then cooked)

2 cups finely chopped tomato

1 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (or about 2 1/2

tablspoons dry)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

3 eggs or equivalent substitute

 

Heat oven to 350. Grease loaf pan. Cook onion and

garlic in oil over medium heat about 2 minutes,

stirring occasionally, until onion is crisp-tender.

Mix onion mixture and remaining ingredients, spoon

into loaf pan. Cover with generous layer of ketchup.

Bake uncovered 40 minutes or until golden brown. Let

stand 5 minutes before removing from pan. Slice,

serve with ketchup.

 

Before baking I took a mixture of ketchup, some garlic roasted mustard and a

little maple syrup, and water, mixed it together and poured over top of loaf

and baked as directed.

 

I did not crush the garlic just chopped it and use 3 or 4 cloves

Used 1 cup of chopped tomato

didn't have any parsley so didn't use it.

Added 1/4 cup of chopped frozen spinach (thawed)

a couple of squirts of lemon juice.

didn't use cumin

Used sage, thyme, pepper, salt

Ener-g egg replacer.
