Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup lentils
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • ¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine water and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are soft and most of the water is evaporated, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Drain and partially mash lentils, then scrape into a mixing bowl. Stir in oats, Cheddar cheese, and onion. Add tomato sauce, egg, garlic, parsley, basil, and pepper; mix until well combined. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of the spoon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top of loaf is dry, firm, and golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan and invert onto a serving platter.
