Equipment

  • Loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds mixed with 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 1 large carrot diced (~1 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 227 grams cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage minced, or 1/3 tsp dried
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary minced, or 1/3 tsp dried
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups green lentils cooked (I used 1 can)
  • 1 cup mixed nuts chopped
  • 156 mL tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 F. Grease your loaf tin with olive oil.
  • Mix together your chia seeds or ground flax seeds with water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrot, celery salt and pepper until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms, sage, rosemary, garlic, smoked paprika and soy sauce. Sauté until the water has been released from the mushrooms and has evaporated (about 10 minutes). It's very important to make sure the water has evaporated from the mushrooms, as this helps to ensure the mixture isn't too wet.
  • Add lentils, tomato paste, nuts, flour of choice, chia or flax egg and nutritional yeast to the pot. Stir well to mix together.
  • Add a layer of tomato sauce to the bottom of the pan (optional). Spoon the lentil, nut and mushroom mixture into the pan and spread evenly with the bake of a spoon. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the loaf has cooked through. Let cool almost completely before removing from the pan. Serve and enjoy!
