How to cook deliciously - Michael's Easy Lentil Loaf

1. Stage

Combine water and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are soft and most of the water is evaporated, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

3. Stage

Drain and partially mash lentils, then scrape into a mixing bowl. Stir in oats, Cheddar cheese, and onion. Add tomato sauce, egg, garlic, parsley, basil, and pepper; mix until well combined. Spoon into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the back of the spoon.

4. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until top of loaf is dry, firm, and golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan and invert onto a serving platter.
