Equipment
- Stovetop
- Oven
- Parchment paper
- Loaf pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup green or brown lentils
- 1 cup whole grain rice
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- large large onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium carrots diced
- 1/4 cup cashews chopped
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon crumbled sage
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Combine the lentils and rice in a large pot with the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it has begun to boil, lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot and allow to cook until the water has been absorbed, about 45 minutes.
- While the lentils and rice are cooking, heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and carrots, and cook until the carrots are tender, about 10 more minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350° and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cooked lentils and rice, the vegetables, and the rest of the ingredients. Mash as little as you can, so the lentils don’t lose their shape.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, and bake until firm and lightly browned on top, about 45 minutes.
