INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (198g)
1/8 cup chopped walnuts (15g)
1 scoop pea protein powder (30g)
1 cup green beans (125g)
1 cup mashed cauliflower (107g)
1/4 medium onion (40g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
2 tbsp tomato paste (33g)
2 tbsp rolled oats (30g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, chopped walnuts, pea protein powder, finely diced onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, and rolled oats.
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients come together. If the mixture feels too dry, add a small splash of water to bind it.
Press the mixture into a greased small loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges start to crisp and the loaf is heated through.
While the loaf is baking, steam the green beans until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
For the mashed cauliflower, steam cauliflower florets until very tender (about 10 minutes), then blend with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate a serving of the lentil walnut protein loaf alongside a portion of steamed green beans and a scoop of mashed cauliflower. Enjoy!
