ULTIMATE LENTIL WALNUT LOAF
This lentil walnut loaf is so delicious, you'll find it hard to resist. Raved about by readers, husbands, children, and recipes testers alike, many claim it's better than traditional meatloaf. The beauty of creating a lentil loaf (as opposed to a meatloaf) is that you can taste the mixture as you go without having to worry about the raw meat. This results in a perfectly seasoned loaf and, trust me, the batter tastes so good! Lentil loaves can be temperamental, so it's best to follow the directions exactly as written as I've tested this multiple ways. Even minor changes to this recipe can result in a loaf that doesn't stick together as well. I love to serve this loaf with my stunning Cauliflower Carrot Mash, applesauce, and/or steamed broccoli or greens. This lentil loaf is inspired by Terry Walters' Clean Food Lentil Loaf recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, and then line it with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit the length of the pan.
- If using canned lentils, rinse and drain them in a colander. If using lentils cooked from scratch, follow the directions in the note below. After draining, add them into a very large bowl and mash the lentils with a potato masher. The goal is to create a lentil paste while still leaving about 1/3 of the lentils intact.
- Spread the chopped walnuts onto the baking sheet. Toast the nuts for 8 to 12 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- Increase the oven heat to 350°F (180°C).
- Add the oil into a large skillet, and increase the heat to medium. Stir in the onion and garlic and season with a pinch or two of salt. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion softens.
- Stir in the celery and carrot, and continue cooking for another few minutes.
- Finally, stir in the grated apple, dried cranberries (or raisins), thyme, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cook for a couple minutes longer.
- Into the bowl with the mashed lentils, stir in the walnuts, ground flax, oat flour, and bread crumbs until combined.
- Stir in all of the veggie mixture until combined. Add the red pepper flakes, if using. Taste and add more salt (I usually add another 1/2 teaspoon). If the mixture seems dry, add a tablespoon or two of water and mix again.
- Press all of the lentil loaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Pack it down as firmly as you can as this will help it hold together after cooling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, applesauce, vinegar, and maple syrup until combined. Using a pastry brush (or simply a spoon), spread all of the glaze over top of the lentil loaf.
- Bake the lentil loaf, uncovered, at 350°F (180°C) for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges start to darken and the loaf is semi-firm to the touch. Place the loaf pan directly onto a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Then, slide a knife around the ends to loosen, and carefully lift out the loaf (using the parchment paper as "handles") and place it directly onto the cooling rack for another 30 minutes.
- After cooling, carefully slice the loaf into slabs. Serve immediately. The loaf will continue to firm up as it cools. Some crumbling is normal if sliced while warm.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) top and bottom heat. Take out a bread-baking form (diameters about 25 cm long, 11 cm wide, and 8 cm high) and put a baking sheet in
- Wash the lentils under running water before transferring to a pot alongside 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then turn on low heat and let simmer for about 25 minutes until cooked through. When done, drain any excess water and put it aside
- Meanwhile, prepare the other "loaf" ingredients. Take out a big bowl so that you can easily add the cut ingredients to it and clear out your kitchen board: Peel and finely chop the onion, as well as grate the garlic. Wash the celery, carrot, apple, and mushrooms. Finely cut the celery. De-stem the mushrooms and chop them into smallish pieces. Grate the carrot. Core the apple and also grate (I tend to use a food processor for both the apple and carrot). In a food processor, pulse the walnuts a few times. Add the lentils and pulse a bit more so that you have a slight "mushiness" (technical term ????). Also, transfer to the bowl. As the last step, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, salt, paprika, pepper, oat flour, and oats. Mix everything through (I tend to use my hands for this step). Put into a bread baking form and really tightly push the mixture in. This step is super important, in order for the loaf to hold its form. Bake for ca. 1 hour and 25 minutes until the top of the loaf has turned golden
- Take the Lentil Mushroom Walnut "Meat" Loaf out of the oven and let it slightly cool before lifting it out of the form. The loaf will be soft whilst hot and gradually holds its form the cooler it becomes (this is a property of gluten-free baking). The taste is not impacted in any way though. Serve alongside your favorite side dishes and ENJOY!!

MUSHROOM-WALNUT LOAF (GARDEN LOAF)
I cook the brown rice with a little toasted sesame oil to give it a nutty flavor. I love this recipe. It freezes well and easily reheats. Sometimes I add cooked sausage to the recipe, if I feel like having some meat that week. Otherwise, it's a hearty, satisfying recipe. Serve with mushroom-walnut gravy or my favorite savory sauce.

- Cook the onion, carrot, celery and mushrooms in a pan over medium-high heat. Use 1-2 tbsp of oil to prevent sticking. Sautee for 4-5 minutes then add the garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes then turn the heat down to low.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients. It’s important to sprinkle the gluten flour in a thin layer across the top of the rest of the ingredients and stir it in carefully to prevent the gluten flour from clumping.
