Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic
- crushed 1 carrot
- grated 1/3 cup chestnut mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of raw puy lentils (100g)
- 1 heaped tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp tamari
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 C and line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper (or plenty of oil).
- Sauté the onion, garlic, carrot and mushrooms in the olive oil on a medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
- Add the nuts, pumpkin seeds, lentils, coriander and dried herbs to your food processor and pulse just until it’s all broken down into small pieces.
- Add this mixture to a large bowl, along with the flour, salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Add in the soya sauce and sautéed vegetables, pour into the stock and mix very well.
- Transfer the mixture into the loaf tin and roast for 45 minutes, until the top develops a crust and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. 10 minutes before the end, scatter over the pine nuts.
- Set it aside to cool for about 20 minutes before removing from the tin and slicing.
- Scatter pine nuts on the top about 10 minutes before the end of baking time.
