Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken into a gel.
In a food processor, pulse the cooked lentils, chopped walnuts, onion, half of the nutritional yeast, and the flax gel until the mixture is combined but still has some texture.
Press the lentil mixture firmly into the loaf pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden and the top is firm.
While the loaf bakes, steam the cauliflower florets until very tender.
Mash the steamed cauliflower with one minced garlic clove and the remaining nutritional yeast until smooth and creamy.
Steam or blanch the green beans until crisp-tender, then toss them in a pan with the remaining minced garlic and a splash of water until fragrant.
Slice the lentil loaf and serve warm alongside the mashed cauliflower and garlic green beans.
