INGREDIENTS

0.75 cup Cooked Lentils

28g Unflavored Pea Protein Powder

1.5 tbsp Chopped Walnuts

2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast

1 cup Green Beans

1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed

2 cloves Garlic

0.25 cup Diced Onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a mini loaf pan with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken into a flax egg.

• 3

  In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and half of the minced garlic with a splash of water until softened.

• 4

  In a large mixing bowl, roughly mash the cooked lentils with a fork, leaving some texture.

• 5

  Add the flax egg, sautéed onion mixture, chopped walnuts, pea protein powder, and nutritional yeast to the lentils.

• 6

  Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried thyme if desired, then mix until a thick dough forms.

• 7

  Press the mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is firm and edges are golden.

• 8

  While the loaf bakes, steam the green beans until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.

• 9

  Toss the steamed green beans in a pan with the remaining minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

• 10

  Allow the loaf to cool slightly before slicing and serving alongside the garlic green beans.
