Vegetarian Lentil meatloaf with recipe

Vegetarian Lentil meatloaf with recipe

cooking  

So today was staying home and cook at home kind of the day. So I looked at my pantry and checked what I have, I needed to finish using some of the stuff, and yeah, I made lunch, dinner, dessert, etc. I posted all on my instagram.

When I googled for lentil recipe, this lentil meatloaf came up. The original recipe also using spinach and I didn't have it, but I had everything else so I decided to make this recipe. It was also perfect because I don't have any milk or eggs at home and this recipe doesn't need any of that.

The original recipe using garlic and spinach, but I didn't since I didn't have them.

2 tablespoon ground flax seeds
6 tablespoon boiling water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cup mushrooms, diced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, roughly chopped
3/4 cup BBQ sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked green lentils, cooled and split into 1 1/2 cups and 1/2 cup
1 cup gluten-free rolled oats, split in half
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 375F. Add the ground flax seeds to a small bowl, pour the boiling hot water over and stir to combine well. Set aside and allow it to thicken and cool.

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5-8 minutes until the onions are tender. Add in the mushrooms and cook another 3 to 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender, add in the thyme and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Add in 1/2 cup of the BBQ sauce, stir to combine and turn off the heat, add salt and pepper to taste, if it needs it.

Process 1 1/2 cups of the cooked lentils and 1/2 cup of the oats in the food processor until smooth (some whole bits may remain, that’s ok). Spoon the mixture into a large bowl, add in the remaining lentils and oats, plus the flax “egg”, almond flour and vegetable mixture. Stir really well to combine. Then get your hands in there, just like you would with a regular meat loaf or meatballs, and make sure it is mixed and mashed together really well.

Spoon the mixture into a parchment paper lined 9″ x 5″ loaf pan, (leave a bit of the parchment paper hanging over so you can easily lift the loaf out when it is cooked). Using your hands, you really want to press it in good. Brush on the remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce over the top.

Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes at 375F. Cool in the pan for about 5, pull the loaf out by grabbing the sides of the parchment paper and lifting up and allow it to cool for another 5 to 10 minutes on a cooking rack. Slice and serve.

FAT BLOCKER / BURNER
Matcha is an all natural metabolism booster that aids to burning fat up to 4X faster than average. Unlike other diet supplements, Matcha has no negative side-effects like hot flashes, increased heart rate or high blood pressure. It's best to drink Matcha 15 - 30 min before a workout to enhance fat burning.

LOWERS CHOLESTEROL
Drinking this USDA Organic Matcha Green Tea, on a regular basis, will lower the levels of LDL (Bad) cholesterol while raising the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. This brand of tea is an excellent dieting supplement for your everyday nutrition.

HEALTHIER THAN BREWED GREEN TEA
USDA Organic Matcha green tea powder has over 1300 antioxidants in it, which is 137X more antioxidants than traditional brewed green tea. Traditional green tea is just brewed from the leaf, with matcha you are consuming the entire green tea leaf. This dramatically increases the amount of natural antioxidants and L-Theanine you consume.

FIGHTS CANCER 
This matcha contains a unique and potent antioxidant known as catechin EGCg. This antioxidant provides potent cancer-fighting properties that are not found in other foods. EGCg also counteracts the effects of free radicals from the likes of pollution, UV rays, radiation and chemicals that can lead to cell and DNA damage.
