VEGETARIAN MEATLESS MEATLOAF WITH LENTILS
I've been trying many vegetarian 'meatloaf' recipes trying to find one we thought was just right. This is a conglomeration of several recipes and my own spin. You can top it with sauce or ketchup before baking, but I don't bother.

LENTIL LOAF
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Oil a large loaf pan and line with parchment paper, then set aside.
- Soak the lentils in hot water while you prep the vegetables. Pour the vegetable oil into a large saucepot on medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and potatoes. Add the granulated garlic, salt, pepper and chile flakes. Saute until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring frequently. Drain the lentils, and add to the pot along with the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the lentils are very soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Add the tamari, poultry seasoning, hot sauce and crackers to the lentil mix. Combine with the eggs and Cheddar. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until the top begins to crack and the loaf is firm to the touch, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Add the Tangy Tomato Sauce to the top in the last 15 minutes.
- Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and hot sauce in a small saucepot. Heat on medium heat until hot and bubbly.
RED LENTIL LOAF
Vegetarian lentil loaf has a long history of masquerading as meatloaf. With its brownish-grey color and a red ketchup glaze, it does its best to look and taste like meat (though it never does). This delicate red lentil loaf is not at all like that. It's all about the lentil flavor - sweet and vegetal. The seasoning veers a little bit Turkish, with lemon, cumin, cilantro, dill and yogurt. It is delicious served at room temperature or warm.

Steps:
- Rinse lentils. Put them in a medium saucepan. Add water just to cover and a good pinch of salt. Bring to a boil high, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes, until very soft. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add cumin, garlic and carrots, seasoning mixture well with salt and pepper. Add lemon zest and juice, and cayenne.
- Transfer drained red lentils and onion mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until it's the consistency of soft mashed potato, a bit lumpy. The mixture should be bright, peppery, lemony and well salted. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Add the cilantro and beat together. Pour egg mixture into lentil mixture and pulse to incorporate. Add oats and mix in.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil. Lay a wide strip of parchment paper into the pan, leaving an overhang on two sides to help in removing cake later. Pour lentil mixture into the pan, smoothing the top. Fold excess parchment over the top. Bake until nicely browned, about 1 hour. Remove from pan and let cool. (The loaf is easier to cut if cooled.) Cut into 1-inch slices.
- In a small bowl, mix together yogurt and cucumbers, and season with salt. Warm the slices up briefly in a 350-degree oven, if desired. Even better: Griddle the slices with a bit of oil in a nonstick or cast-iron pan until crisp and golden on both sides. Or simply serve at room temperature.
- Spoon yogurt-cucumber sauce over each slice and sprinkle with scallion, dill and red-pepper flakes. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, if you wish.

- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the diced peppers, grated courgette, sliced green beans, frozen mushrooms, and garlic paste. Cook over a medium heat for around 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and any excess water has cooked off. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs, and mix in the grated cheese. When the cooked lentils and vegetables have cooled a bit, combine them with the egg mixture, and season with salt, pepper and dried parsley. Mix thoroughly until everything is full combined.
