Vegan Lentil Loaf

Vegan Lentil Loaf

Every year in December the same old question comes up: what do we have for Christmas dinner? This year our tasty rouladen get a break and instead we’ll serve vegan lentil loaf. It’s reminiscent of meat loaf and needs no „classic meat substitute products“ like seitan or tofu. Besides brown lentils, mushrooms, vegetables and nuts are responsible for a lot of flavour and the right texture. You’ll only need some more herbs and spices but that’s actually it. The preparation is super easy, because in this recipe the food processor and the oven do most of the work. We like that, because it leaves you with plenty of time for other stuff like starter, side dish, dessert, presents or whatever you can think of spending a nice time. Buzzword „Christmas, festival of love“. 😉

But back to topic: our vegan lentil loaf doesn’t necessarily need a sauce due to it’s tasty glaze. But since we are deeply in love with our super easy vegan gravy, we would still recommend it with the loaf. And if you serve a dry side dish like potato or bread dumplings, there’s no getting round a gravy anyways. The lentil loaf is by the way pretty heavy. So 1 or 2 slices will get you stuffed. But if you don’t eat the whole loaf, you can terrifically freeze away the leftovers.

Cost per Serving: 0,65 €

Ingredients

LENTIL LOAF

  • 200 g brown lentils
  • 1 medium-sized carrot
  • 1 medium-sized onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 200 g mushrooms
  • 200 g nuts/seeds, we used 100 g walnuts + 100 g sunflower seeds
  • 75 g oats
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tbsp minced parsley
  • 1 heaped tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp soya sauce
  • (smoked) salt + pepper

GLAZE

  • 2 tbsp lingonberry jam, or jam of your choice
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup

Preparation

  • Cook the lentils according to package instructions and let them drain. Finely grind the flax seeds. Roughly chop the mushrooms, carrots and onions.
  • Blend all ingredients for the loaf in a blender until you still have small chunks of lentils, nuts and vegetables. This works best if you blend them in portions and don't fill the blender too much. Combine all ingredients. Season the mixture with (smoked) salt and pepper, put it in parchment paper lined loaf pan and smooth down the top.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Quickly mix the ingredients for the glaze. Spread the glaze on top of the loaf and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into slices, so the loaf will better stick together.

    You recipe does not mention the oven temperature in F or C … For people in Canada it’s very confusing. I believe I did not use the right temperature for this and might have messed the cooking all together

      Hi Chloë,

      thanks for your helpful feedback. As we are from Europe, we always give temperatures in Celsius. We added that information to this recipe now as well.

      If you tried to bake the loaf on 180 degrees Fahrenheit, just put it back in the oven again at the right (or even a little bit higher) temperature. You won’t need to wait the whole 50 minutes though, as it is already half baked.

      Cheers
      Andi
