You know those little stuffed mushrooms that are so delightful at parties? Imagine a slightly bigger version, except with lentils instead of breading, making it not only gluten-free, but with protein too. Make it as a main dish or a side.
We start with cooked lentils which often need to be soaked and boiled. Alternatively, save time by using the tiny red lentils (cook up unsoaked in 15-20 minutes) or save even more time by buying them in a can, often at health food stores.
The popular Indian chef Madhur Jaffrey states that dal simply means split beans. Therefore there are endless variations of dal. This is a rather simple recipe with a touch of garam masala curry. If you cannot find a curry blend, make your own with a medley of cumin, mustard, coriander to taste.
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.
Mushrooms, onions, + lentils are blended up into the creamiest pate-ness… you will never miss the liver! Or if you are not a liver lover, you will appreciate this meatless spread of goodness.
