Lentil Rice Loaf
Most of my family do not eat beef. So this is a perfect “meat” loaf for us, which is also vegan. I serve this loaf with mashed potatoes, pickled beets and green peas. This freezes well so it makes a perfect standby dish for those busy nights during December.
19 oz. can of lentils, drained, rinsed and mashed
2 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 cup EACH of chopped onion, green peppers, red peppers, celery, shredded carrot, and walnuts
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 cups salsa
3 cloves garlic crushed
2 T. olive oil
1/4 teaspoon EACH of salt and pepper
Heat olive oil in a skillet; add garlic, onions, peppers, celery, carrot and walnuts. Cook 3 minutes. Add rice, lentils, bread crumbs 1 1/2 cups salsa and seasonings. Stir and press into a glass oven dish. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Heat remaining sauce, slice loaf and top with heated sauce.

We’re interested in making this for American Thanksgiving; can you or Andrea advise how to convert canned lentils into dried lentils?
Thanks for the recipe.

A 19 ounce can of lentils is just a bit over 2 cups.
