Spicy chili and crispy cashews elevate this quinoa loaf into a delightful vegetarian dish.
Ingredients:
  • 150g cashew
  • 100g quinoa
  • 100g lentils
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
  • 22.20 gm tomato paste
  • 120g carrot
  • 70g sun-dried tomato
  • 62.50 ml flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 62.50 ml coriander, finely chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • Yoghurt or tzatziki, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C. Grease and line a 25cm x 11cm loaf tin, letting the paper hang over the sides.
  • Place the quinoa in a bowl, cover with cold water, and let it soak for 15 minutes. Boil lentils in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain the quinoa, combine with lentils, and cook until both are tender, about 15 minutes. Rinse, drain, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, chilli, and cashews for 3 minutes, then add tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes until onion is tender. Combine lentils, quinoa, grated carrot, sun dried tomatoes, parsley, coriander, eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Press mixture into a loaf tin, top with extra sun dried tomatoes and cashews. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and firm, covering if browning too quickly. Allow to cool before slicing and serving with yogurt or tzatziki.
