Ingredients
-
2 cups of water
1 cup of dried lentils (will yield about 2.5 cups when cooked)
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup of quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 cup of shredded cheese of choice
1 egg, beaten
1.5 cups of tomato sauce
1 tsp dried garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp pepper
Adding salt is optional (1/2 tsp)
Tips
- To prevent dryness, I mix a bit of ketchup and brown sugar in order to make a thin glaze over the loaf before baking
- If you don't have tomato sauce, you can dilute tomato paste in water until you get the right amount of liquid
- If using tomato paste with water, you can experiment with the quantity of water until you reach the desired consistency for your loaf (level of dryness or moisture).
Directions
- Cook lentils in water (bring to boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for approximately 30 minutes, until lentils are soft and most of the water is evaporated)
- Drain and partially mash lentils
- Stir in onions, oats and cheese
- Add egg, tomato sauce and spices
- Spoon into a non stick pan
- Smooth top with back of spoon
- Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes
- Let cool a bit, then cut and serve
