Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup dry lentils
3 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup chopped carrot
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
3/4 cup unsalted raw cashews, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, cook the lentils in the water until soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the onion and garlic in the oil, stirring, until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the carrots and celery.
  • Simmer, covered, until the carrots are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350*F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the lentils, vegetable mixture and remaining ingredients.
  • (In response to the loaf being a little dry, you could add in about 1/8 cup broth or cooking water here to make it moister).
  • Spoon into an oiled loaf pan.
  • Bake until firm, about 45 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
  • (Or let the loaf cool and wrap it in foil for transport. On the trail, slice and serve loaf as is, or use the slices in sandwiches.).
