INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked lentils (150g)
2 tbsp chopped walnuts (15g)
0.33 cup rolled oats (27g dry)
50g tempeh
0.33 cup roasted chickpeas (55g)
1 cup broccoli (156g)
1 tsp olive oil
Salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, chopped walnuts, crumbled tempeh, and roasted chickpeas. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring that it is compacted well to hold its shape during baking.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it is set and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Meanwhile, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven (you can do this concurrently) for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Slice the lentil walnut protein loaf and serve alongside the roasted broccoli for a balanced, nutrient-dense vegan dinner.
