Wholesome Lentil Loaf


About this recipe:
Lentils are full of B vitamins, iron, zinc and calcium. Together with Rice they make a good complete protein meal. If you are on the candida diet, you want to only eat a small portion because of the starchy quality of these legumes. Make sure to boil lentils without salt, adding salt while boiling will make them more starchy.



Preheat the oven to 350F

Ingredients:
• 1 union, chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped
• handful of fresh sage, chopped
• 1.5 c. cooked lentils (I used black lentils)
• 1.5 c. cooked sprouted brown rice
• 1/2 c. chopped raw walnuts
• 1/4 c. crumbled GF crackers
• 2 T. apple cider vinegar
• 2 organic eggs, beaten
• 2 T. millet flour
• fresh ground pepper
• little ghee for sautéing, canola oil spray for greasing the cake pan

1. Melt some ghee and sauté the union for a couple of minutes, add the garlic and celery. Right before the union becomes translucent, add the chopped sage, transfer to large mixing bowl.
2. Combine all other ingredients, mix well.
3. Spray a 8 x 8 square cake pan with canola oil spray and fill with mixture. Press down firmly
4. Bake 30 minutes (uncovered) at 350F.
5. Cut and serve, sprinkle mineral salt to taste. By adding salt at the end you preserve the minerals in the salt.
