Vegetable Lentil Loaf

A hearty, healthy loaf made with lentils and vegetables. Perfect for a nutritious dinner.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, combine the lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender and broth is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, sautéed vegetables, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in the breadcrumbs and eggs until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing down firmly.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
