Ingredients:
6 oz red lentils
12 fl oz water
4 oz organic white cheddar cheese, grated
1 organic onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh organic parsley, chopped
½ tsp organic cayenne pepper
Dash of organic lemon juice
1 large organic egg
3 tbsp organic cream
Sea salt and organic black pepper
1 tsp organic butter

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 1 lb loaf tin with 1 tsp of organic butter.

In a large covered pot, cook the lentils in boiling water for about 10 – 15 minutes. Check the water level so the lentils don’t burn! If necessary, add a bit of boiling water. The mixture should resemble a heavy puree when it is done. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the organic cheese, organic onion, organic parsley, organic cayenne pepper and organic lemon juice. Add sea salt and organic pepper to taste.

In a small bowl, beat a large organic egg and mix in the organic cream. Pour the mixture over the lentil puree. Press the lentil puree into the prepared loaf tin and put it in the oven for about 45 – 50 minutes. The top of the lentil loaf should be golden brown. Let the lentil loaf cool down a bit before taking it out of the loaf tin.

Enjoy this healthy vegetarian meal with a nice tossed salad!
