Vegan Lentil Walnut Loaf

Lentils and Walnuts unite to make this protein packed vegetable main course! (Link!) I chose to make this dish for Passover, substituting the bread crumbs for whole wheat matzah meal (yes I know this is being posted late!). It was a huge hit - and super satisfying (I didn't even miss the brisket!). It has a dense meatiness and the topping has such a lovely sweetness. 

This amazing loaf has lentils, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, breadcrumbs, walnuts, and flax seed (as a binder!). The topping is a sweet blend of maple syrup, ketchup, and balsamic. 

cooking the lentils and veggies - yum! 

I think this dish would be amazing for Thanksgiving. It really does act as a hearty meat substitute, and is vegan too so it is a great alternative for your guests with food restrictions. I imagine you could even do gluten free with gluten free breadcrumbs!  And did I mention how fast this dish comes together? You're welcome :)
