Holiday Lentil Loaf
From Whole Food Goodness
3 cups cooked lentils
3 cups cooked wild rice
1 onion chopped fine
1 cloves garlic minced
4 stalks celery chopped fine
3 cups chopped mushrooms
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp Holiday Herb Mix
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
½ cup oats
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 T Tamari or soy sauce
2 Tbsp Kirkland or Spike No-Salt Seasoning
2 t onion powder
1 t sea salt
Saute the onion in a dry skillet over high heat until it starts to brown. Add remaining vegetables and saute until moisture is evaporated. The mushrooms should provide enough moisture but add a Tbsp of water if needed. Add holiday herbs and cook 1 minute. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Transfer to a 13 x 9 casserole dish. Press down and smooth top of loaf. Bake 30 minutes covered, 10 minutes uncovered. Let stand for 5 – 10 minutes before cutting and serving. If desired, line the bottom of your baking pan with parchment paper before filling with loaf mixture. When slightly cooled, invert onto a platter and remove parchment paper. Top with Mushroom Gravy.
