The story behind this recipe
Lent has started, and I can't wait for the spring salads that I just love. Until then, we make do with what we have and try to do some "spring cleaning" in our bodies with healthy and nutritious food. Today, I managed with some lentils and vegetables. Although my diet is predominantly vegetarian, I still get nervous when I try to cook something new, and I always personalize recipes to my own taste. You're like that too, right? :))
This recipe is relatively easy, but (so you can learn from my mistake), you must have patience before cutting the drob. It is ideal to wait about 30 minutes after taking it out of the oven.
For 2 pans, we need:
500 Gr red lentils (soaked overnight, or 3-4 hours before cooking)
2 medium potatoes, boiled in their skins
300 Gr chopped mushrooms
100 ml olive oil
1 diced carrot
1/2 diced bell pepper
1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
100 ml soy cream OR 50 ml soy milk
5 tablespoons breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
100 Gr cooked brown rice
Salt, pepper, thyme, parsley to taste. You can go wild with the parsley, it's so good!
The rice, carrot, and bell pepper are optional, but they help give it a fluffy texture and add color to the slices of drob.
Start:
Boil the lentils for 4-5 minutes in salted water, and while they cool, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Peel and grate the potatoes, dice the carrot, chop the greens, and drink a glass of water because it's very important to stay hydrated. Continue with the onion and garlic, both chopped.
I bet the lentils have cooled by now, so mix them with all the ingredients mentioned above.
Grease the baking pan with oil and coat with breadcrumbs.
While the oven is preheating to 180 degrees, divide the entire amount equally into the two pans.
Sprinkle some breadcrumbs over each, and drizzle with a little oil to get that crust.
After you have taken the pans out of the oven, don't touch them for 30-40 minutes. Otherwise, when you slice it, it will fall apart. Enjoy!
