Emile assisted me in making our dinner on Wednesday night. We made Lentil Loaf with Steamed broccoli and Whipped Potatoes with lots of butter and cheddar cheese. Yum! It was so hearty and comforting! And best of all I had the sweetest little helper. He did a great job grating the cheese, mixing and pouring.
*Red Lentil Loaf*
Cook 1 1/2 cup dry red lentils in 3 cups of water for about 20 minutes or until water is mostly absorbed and lentils are tender.
While that is cooking, saute 1 onion (chopped fine), 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper and 3/4 cup chopped mushrooms in olive oil or butter until very soft. Add 1 clove of crushed garlic and turn off heat.
Add vegetables to the lentils when done, and add 1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese. Mix well.
Beat one large egg and add to lentil mixture, stir well. Spray a loaf pan with oil and pour mixture into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until lightly browned at edges and starting to firm up in center.
