How to Make Lentil Carrot Loaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Steam 1 pound of carrots until tender (approximately 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the carrots, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid if desired for a sauce.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked carrots, 1 cup of cooked green lentils (rinsed), 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Mash the mixture coarsely using a potato masher, leaving some texture.
- Gently stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs to help bind the loaf.
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Pour the lentil-carrot mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Decorate the top with walnut halves, if desired.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and golden brown.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5 minutes before unmolding onto a serving platter.
- Garnish with sliced tomatoes or other colorful vegetables for a beautiful presentation. Serve warm with your favorite sauce (optional).
