Sweet Potato Lentil Loaf! Made with pulsed lentils, rice stuffing, sweet potato, dried apricots, walnuts, and warming spices. To get ahead, the rice stuffing can be made a few days in advance. Pre-cooked lentils are also quite handy, and the sweet potatoes will only take minutes if they're steamed in the microwave.
How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 2 cups prepared Wild Rice Stuffing
- 2 cups cooked green or puy lentils, divided
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 5 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon dried cardamom
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line a bread pan with oil and/or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Step 2: Cook the sweet potatoes until the inside flesh is fork tender. You can bake, steam, or microwave them. After cooking, scoop out the inner flesh and discard the peel. Mash the orange flesh with a fork and measure out 2 cups of cooked mashed potato.
- Step 3: Place the prepared Wild Rice Stuffing, cooked sweet potato, spices, and Worcestershire in a food processor. Pulse until a thick, chunky batter is formed. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Step 4: Measure out 1 cup of the cooked lentils, reserve the rest. Puree the lentils in the food processor until smooth. Add this to the bowl with the rice mixture.
- Step 5: Stir together the cold water and flax meal in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until it thickens into a gel-like consistency. Use a spatula to fold in the flax mixture and the remaining lentils, apricots, and walnuts to the bowl with the rice blend. Stir until evenly combined.
- Step 6: Transfer the mixture to the prepared bread pan and spread the top evenly. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes, or until firm. Cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack before removing from pan.
- Serve: Enjoy warm alongside favorites like gravy and cranberry sauce. Any leftovers freeze well.
