Saute the onions and simmer the kohlrabi. Prepare the sweet potatoes, florets and remaining lentil nut loaf ingredients. Start roasting. Simmer the cranberry juice for the glaze. Place the lentil nut loaf in the oven. Chop the kohlrabi greens and blend the kohlrabi into a sauce. As the loaf finishes up, saute the greens. Fold the kohlrabi sauce into the greens. Drizzle the loaf with the Cranberry Glaze and serve in slices with the two sides.
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.
The next time you have a bulb of kohlrabi with all of the greens attached, count your blessings. The leaves and stems are delicious and the bulb of kohlrabi can be simmered into a creamy sauce for a vegan creamed greens dish.
These three vegetables balance each other nicely and can be cooked altogether with a splash of olive oil, salt & pepper bringing out the caramel sweetness of each vegetable.
