Categories     Lentil

Time 50m

Yield 1 loaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup lentils (a mixture is best but may use one type if none other available)
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 bouillon cubes (chicken or vegetable)
spices (Thyme, Sage, Parsley, and Tarragon recommended)
2 teaspoons yeast extract (Marmite, Bovril, etc)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups cheese, grated
2 -4 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat oil and sauté onion and carrot until tender. Add lentils and enough boiling water to cover the contents. You may need to add some more water while boiling. Add spices, bullion, and yeast extract. Boil about 30 - 40 minutes. (This time varies depending on the type of lentils you use). The lentils should be soft and the mixture should be thick but still have some water in it -almost like cake mix. Take off heat and stir in grated cheese and eggs. Pour into a loaf pan and bake 35 - 45 minutes at 350F until firm. Serve warm as a main dish or put it on bread for a sandwich.
  • You can vary the texture by using different varieties of lentils and can even add pinto or another bean to the mix.
  • **It can be made without the yeast extract, but this really adds a flavorful zip.

Tips:

  • To ensure the lentil loaf is cooked evenly, use a loaf pan of appropriate size. If the pan is too large, the loaf may be too thin and dry out. If the pan is too small, the loaf may overflow.
  • Be sure to rinse the lentils before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris and help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the lentils. They should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Adding some chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onion, to the lentil mixture will add flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the lentils with a potato masher or fork. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices. You can add things like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cumin to taste.
  • Serve the lentil loaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This Asian lentil loaf is a delicious and healthy plant-based meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this lentil loaf a try.
