    Vegan Lentil Quinoa Loaf with Spicy Glaze | VeganRicha.com #vegan #holiday #lentilloaf

    This is an amazing Lentil loaf with veggies, quinoa and spices. Use whichever spices and flavor additions you have. Mash some of the mixture really well for a sturdy loaf. The loaf can be made ahead and is freezer friendly. Freeze the slices and reheat on a skillet like a burger patty and serve. I made this loaf as part of the Thanksgiving spread, all on the same day. You can read about the menu, this loaf and how everything came together, other recipes from the spread with step pictures here.

    • 2 Tbsp tahini
    • 1 to 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

    • 1/2 cup (54 g) breadcrumbs or use coarsely ground oats or gf breadcrumbs to make gf

    • 1 tsp or more hot sauce to taste
    • 2 tsp maple
    • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

    Instructions

    • Combine lentils, bay leaf and water in a pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Wash the quinoa, add to the pan, partially cover and continue to cook until both are very tender and easily mashed (You want to slightly over cook the lentils). Stir after 10 minutes so they don't stick to the pan. Total 10 to 15 mins . *Drain any excess water, remove bay leaf and transfer to a bowl.
    • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and jalapeno and cook for 5 minutes. or until translucent
    • Add celery, carrots, thyme, oregano, and mix well. Cook for 5 minutes or until the veggies are tender. Add in the raisins, and mix . Cook for 2 minutes. Take off heat.
    • Add the cooked veggies and flaxmeal to the bowl and mix in. Mash the mixture using potato masher or hands, so that atleast half the lentils and quinoa get well mashed. (you still want some whole lentils)
    • Add in the sauces, tahini, nutritional yeast, fennel seeds and mix well. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Add more sauces, herbs and salt if needed.
    • Add breadcrumbs or coarsely ground oats and mix in. (To check if the mixture is the right consistency, make a burger patty. If the mixture is too sticky or pasty, add more breadcrumbs. If it is too crumbly and doesn't stick easily, add some wet ingredients or a flax egg)
    • Prepare the loaf pan with parchment lined with parchment edges over the pan. Medium bread loaf pan(8.5 by 4.75 inch)
    • Press the mixture into the pan. Pack well and even it out.
    • Make the glaze and spread over the top of the loaf.

    Notes

    To make the loaf less crumbly, cook the lentils really well. then mash them really well. Larger veggies or lentils in the mixture will make the loaf crumbly. Use finely chopped veggies. Add only enough breadcrumbs to make the mixture like a soft somewhat wet dough and not dry.
    To Make Ahead: Cook the lentils and quinoa and add all the seasoning. Mix in and refrigerate. On the day you want to bake. Add in the breadcrumbs, taste and adjust salt and seasoning, pack into a loaf, glaze and bake as in the Instructions.
    If for some reason the mixture is not the right consistency or you don't have a loaf pan, shape the mixture into large patties by hand or by packing into a 3.5 inch cookie cutter. Brush the glaze on the patties. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes.
    Or Bake the loaf for 25 minutes and refrigerate. Bake for 15 minutes before serving.
    To use precooked lentils/quinoa : Use 1 1/4 cup cooked lentils and 1 cup cooked quinoa and proceed with the rest of the recipe.

      I have made several veggie loaves. This one takes a little longer, but it is worth it. Most of my friends are carnivores so I often take along a slice when we are invited out. Everyone is relieved rather than offended, including me! Thanks for a great recipe.

      This tasted really good even before it was baked in the oven. I ate 30% of it before I even baked it, and I debated if I should bake it or just eat it like that. I don’t know if I was supposed to do that? Is it okay to eat it unbaked? Thank you so much for the flavourful recipe, Richa!

      I’ve tried many veggie loafs and this one is my absolute favorite! I used Trader Joe’s precooked lentils and quinoa I had previously cooked. It made it come together much faster. I love the addition of the fennel and tahini to give it some richness. I served it with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. This will be my go to loaf in the future.

      I adore this recipe and always make a double batch to freeze. My husband complains that it makes such a little amount. Thats because as soon as it’s done, I’m eating it out of the pan. Not much makes it to the dinner table. My only negative comment is it takes too long to make!

      5/5 = Awesome! This is the 5th time I have made this and I absolutely love it! I double the recipe and wrap and freeze portions for 2. I freeze prior to the initial cooking mentioned in the recipe and it cooks and reheats very well after being frozen. The only change I make to your recipe is that I switch out raw cashew butter for the tahini due to an allergy. This is the only lentil loaf I will make. Thank-you!

        I’m thinking of freezing ahead. Did you add the breadcrumbs as well, prior to freezing before cooking? I was trying to get ahead and didn’t notice- the comment about adding the breadcrumbs on the day of baking. Ass it’s put together, should I cook it now and then freeze it?

      Can this be made oilfree, or is the oil needed to avoid crumbling? What could be substituted? I guess the tahini adds some oil too. Maybe one or the other? Suggestions please Richa. I received the cookbook I won in your contest. Thanks very much! I already owned the book, so I’m looking for a suitable fellow cook to whom I can gift it😀

        yes, wash both in hot water, then drain and add to the pot. Use 1/2 cup les water.Pressure cook for 9 mins and quick release after 5 mins. Drain the mixture eis there is moisture and proceed with adding sauteed veggies flavors etc.

      I made this today. It is so good, the only change I made was more carrots, sine I didn’t have any flaxseed or chia. I didn’t have any issue with it falling apart. I’ll definitely make this apart of my recipe rotation.

      A little late to the party, but I came across this while online looking for a vegan loaf. I made this and it was amazing (carrots and celery aren’t my favorite so I left them out). The leftover was even better…firmer texture and the flavor was richer. Didn’t disappoint! I am taking what’s left for lunch tomorrow.

      Wow, this exceeded my expectations by far! Vegan loafs quite honestly usually turn out bland and too crumbly. Not this one! The flavor and consistency both were perfect. Vegan or not, this is quite suitable as a hearty and filling main dish for either of the major holidays. I’ll be making it again for sure.

      So good! Used bulgur instead of quinoa because that’s what I had; turned out great! Thanks!

      Love your recipes! I am not a fan of fennel or anise flavoring. Can you recommend a substitution? Thanks!

      Hi, I made this recipe last Thanksgiving and wanted to do so again this year, but one of the guests has a quinoa allergy. Any suggestion what I could sub it with?

      Thanks so much, Kris

        Wayyyy to late but no one has answered you. I haven’t tried it but another comment said they used bulgur instead of quinoa. Hope I helped

          millet or bulgur will work

      Hi richa
      I doubled this for a large loaf in the same size pan. Do I need to bake for longer?

      We absolutely loved this recipe! The only thing I did differently was to use dried cranberries because that’s what I had on hand. I made a double batch and froze the extra. We just had some from the frozen batch for dinner and it was just as good as the day I made it!

      Tried this recipe and mine did not get firm enough to slice. It was more like a lentil mash lol. Loved the flavor, but not sure what I did wrong?

        Maybe the lentils were overcooked, or over mashed? Lentil cooking time and texture depends on the type of lentils and the age. If they are over soft,, they will tend to make a mushy loaf. How was the texture of the loaf before baking?

      I would love to make this tonight but I only have red lentils. Do you think I could use them instead?

        you can use a mix of cooked red lentils and hearty beans or chickpeas. Just red lentils will make a mush of the loaf.

      This is THE one. I have been trying vegan loaf recipes from all over the internet, trying to find the one that has the right combo of flavors. Some are overpowering with the spices and yet others come up lacking.. But THIS one has all the right flavors and texture. The only thing I did different than the recipe was I added a little soy sauce. My youngest looked at me with the first bite in his mouth and stated, “yup, this is a keeper”. Richa, that is truly high praise from him. Absolutely delicious!

      Omg Richa we love this! I made it for my Omni husband and toddler and they botg went nuts for it. The ground oats instead of bread crumbs is genius and the siracha in the glaze is unique. I didn’t have jalepeno so I used bell pepper. It held together great. We called it Neatloaf and are totally making this again.

      Best quina loaf recipe I have tried. I added whole chia seeds in addition to the flax. I also accidentally forgot the tahini. Turned out great!
