How to Prepare Nut-and-Seed Loaf [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Line a loaf pan with foil or a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
  3. In a medium pot, combine lentils and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover pot and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until lentils are cooked. Drain any remaining water and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with 9 tablespoons of water and stir to remove lumps. Set aside.
  5. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil. Stir in garlic, onion, red pepper, carrot, celery, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 2 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, and cayenne and cook another 3-5 minutes, or until vegetables are softened. Turn off heat. Stir in lentils, chickpea flour, flaxseeds, walnuts, and vegan cheddar shreds. Stir in flaxseed eggs.
  6. Transfer to a loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then turn out onto a baking rack to continue cooling.
