A healthy, cheap and tasty dish - don't tell hubby it's vegetarian and he probably won't even realise! This is amazing value for calories - including the salad, it comes in at just under 200 calories for 6 serves, or if you're more hungry, just under 300 calories for 4 serves. Delicious with some homemade relish!
Ingredients:
4 slices multigrain bread, torn
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, grated
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 x 400g can brown lentils, drained and rinsed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
420g can corn kernels, drained, rinsed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Line base and sides of an 11cm x 21cm loaf tin with baking paper.
Place bread in food processor. Process for 1 to 2 minutes or until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Transfer to a bowl. (Here I use the food processor to grate my carrot and zucchini, sometimes even the onion - saves a lot of time!)
Add onion, carrot, zucchini, lentils, egg, ground coriander, cumin, half of the corn kernels and half the chopped coriander. Mix well to combine. Press firmly into pan.
Bake for about an hour or until firm. Stand for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and thickly slice.
Meanwhile, combine tomato, remaining corn and chopped coriander in a bowl (or use whichever salad items you like best!). Serve loaf with salad.
