Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 3/4 cup brown lentils
  • 1/2 dessert-spoon miso
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 5cm piece zucchini
  • 1 small apple
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 dessert-spoons tahini [or BTD compliant substitute]
  • soy sauce [or wheat-free tamari]
  • breadcrumbs [try Ezekiel bread]


How to make it:
  • Soak brown lentils in water for about 1 to 2 hours (this is not necessary but does reduce the cooking time).
  • Drain, rinse, and put into a medium saucepan, cover well with water, and bring to the boil.
  • Add the miso.
  • Simmer for about 30 minutes, they need to be very tender.
  • Drain and reserve stock.
  • Preheat oven to 160C or 325 degrees F.
  • Mash lentils in a bowl, it doesn't matter if they are not all completely mashed leaving some whole adds to the texture.
  • Grate carrot, zucchini and apple into the mixture and mix well.
  • Add thyme, paprika, and tahini, again mixing well.
  • Add a little wheat-free tamari and enough of the stock to make a soft, but not wet, mixture and enough of the breadcrumbs so that the mixture holds together but is not dry.
  • It should leave the sides of the bowl and feel a little moist.
  • Brush oil onto a 40cm long piece of foil, making sure to oil to all the edges, then turn out the mixture.
  • Press into a shape about 30cm long and 8-10cm wide (oblong or terrine shaped).
  • Then fold the sides of the foil over tuck the ends in and gently slide onto a baking tray.
  • Bake for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2hours.
  • Take out just before serving and very carefully peel the foil back; the result should be a browned, lightly crusted coating.
  • This will also cook in a loaf tin approx. 13cm x 26cm, make sure to cover with foil, this cooks in the same time. However you will not get a 'crusty' coating.
  • Serves 4.
