A great vegetarian alternative to meatloaf. Works great as leftovers as well. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash up the beans with a potato masher.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
14 ounces kidney beans, canned
14 ounces lentils, canned
1 egg
1 carrot, coarsely grated
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9 x5 x3 loaf pan.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion, garlic & celery and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
3. Rince and drain the beans and lentils. Place in a food processor with the onion mixture and egg and process until smooth.
4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and level the surface. Bake for about 1 hour, then remove from the pan and cut into slices to serve.
