Lentil Walnut Protein Loaf with Steamed Greens and Chickpea Mash
Savory lentil and walnut loaf baked until firm, served with creamy mashed chickpeas and vibrant steamed spinach for a satisfyingly earthy finish.
INGREDIENTS
0.9 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
3.5 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
0.5 cup Cooked Chickpeas
2 cups Fresh Spinach
0.5 tablespoon Chopped Walnuts
0.25 cup Diced Yellow Onion
1 clove Minced Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in a non-stick skillet with a splash of water until translucent and fragrant.
In a large bowl, roughly mash the cooked lentils, then stir in the sautéed onions, garlic, chopped walnuts, and nutritional yeast until a thick dough forms.
Press the lentil mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden and the loaf is set.
While the loaf bakes, mash the chickpeas in a small bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice and a tablespoon of warm water until creamy.
Steam the fresh spinach in a steamer basket for 2-3 minutes until just wilted and bright green.
Slice the protein loaf and serve alongside the chickpea mash and steamed greens.
