Saute the veggies and add the lentils to start the lentil nut loaf. Pour the cranberry juice in a small saucepan and simmer to reduce. Slice the onions and saute until caramelized. Slice the apples, add and saute. When the lentil nut loaf comes out of the oven, finish the salad.
This hearty vegan ‘meatloaf’ will have meat lovers considering becoming vegetarian. Most root vegetables will do the job of the carrots and turnips, so mix and match as veggies are available to you. The ground flax seed works as a binding agent, but an egg can work instead if you eat them. Most types of lentils will do, but red lentils cook up a bit faster. If feeling festive, use a few different types. The different cook times will add variety to the texture, just be sure the lentils are thoroughly cooked before baking it in a loaf pan. While not required, this Cranberry Glaze makes this entire dish a bit more magical.
Sweet, tangy and savory cranberry glaze is perfect drizzle across meat or even better the vegan Lentil Nut Loaf.
Sweet & warm toppings coat spinach or shreds of dark leafy greens with a generous sprinkle of toasted hazelnuts.
