Lentil loaf is a hearty dish ideal for holiday meals, plant-based diets, and meal prepping. It uses simple ingredients like ground flax and oats for binding. The savory flavors come from onion, celery, carrot, mushrooms, walnuts, and dried herbs, topped with a ketchup glaze. This dish improves in flavor when made a day in advance and serves well as a cold snack. Options for gluten-free substitutes include pecans for walnuts and gluten-free oats. The ketchup glaze can also be replaced with BBQ sauce for convenience.
This hearty lentil loaf is perfect for holidays, meal prep, or feeding plant-based eaters. Ground flax and oats help bind everything together, while savoury ingredients like onion, celery, carrot, mushrooms, walnuts, and dried herbs provide flavor, finished with a classic ketchup glaze.
The flavours improve the next day, making it a good option for advance preparation. Lentil loaf is tasty cold from the fridge and is a good source of protein and fibre, reheating well for meals.
Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or sunflower seeds for a gluten-free option. For gluten-free needs, use certified gluten-free oats, and ensure fresh ground flax is used for optimal binding.
The ketchup glaze consists of ketchup, tomato paste, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar; a simpler alternative is BBQ sauce.
