Lentil Rice Loaf
Submitted by Carolin
Well, this is not very "meaty" tasting, but it is reminiscent of
meatloaf and it is very tasty. Serve it with mashed potatoes and it is a pure
"comfort food" meal. I originally got it off the McDougall recipes
board and VegSource. The poster there could not remember where she got it from
originally, and I have also made a few changes myself.
Cook 1 and 1/2 cups lentils in 2 and 1/2 cups water. Mash very well and then
add:
2 chopped, cooked onions
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce
1 tsp. sage
1/2 tsp. marjoram
1 large jar of your favourite vegan pasta sauce or tomato sauce (don't add in
with other ingredients...this is for on top)
Remember how you used to mix that meatloaf with your hands? Get in here and
do the same with the lentil-rice mix. Adjust the liquid from the lentils so you
have a nice mixture that holds together. If it is too wet to hold together, add
in some uncooked oatmeal or bread or cracker crumbs. Then dump into an oiled
loaf pan or form into a loaf shape in a large baking dish. I like to leave lots
of room for the sauce and usually use extra sauce. Bake at 350 F. for 45
minutes. Remove from oven, top with pasta or tomato sauce, put back in oven to
bake another 15 minutes. Let stand in the pan for 10 minutes after removing from
the oven. Remove from pan carefully.
