INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (198g)
150g Firm Tofu
1 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Mixed Veggies (Carrot, Celery, Onion)
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 cup Organic Broccoli
1/2 tsp Pumpkin Seeds
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley)
Salt & Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a small loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked green lentils slightly with a fork for texture.
Crumble the firm tofu into the bowl and add the mixed veggies (carrot, celery, and onion). Stir in the tomato paste, flaxseed meal (which acts as a binder), nutritional yeast, and freshly chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix thoroughly until combined. Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is firm and slightly golden.
While the loaf is baking, steam the organic broccoli until tender yet still vibrant, about 5-7 minutes.
To serve, slice a portion of the warm lentil loaf, plate alongside the steamed broccoli, and lightly garnish with a half teaspoon of pumpkin seeds for a subtle crunch.
