Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2 Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over a medium heat. Cook the onion, carrot and celery, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the capsicum and the garlic and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes, or until vegetables are softened. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Set the mixture aside to cool.
3 In a food processor, place cooled onion mixture, lentils, cooked quinoa and oats. Pulse until well combined, keeping some of the texture. Place mixture on prepared tray and shape mixture into a 10cm-wide log. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden.
4 Meanwhile, in a bowl combine cherry tomatoes, basil, chilli flakes and lemon juice. Season with cracked black pepper. Slice ‘meatloaf’ and serve with salsa and salad leaves.
HFG tip
Make sure you drain the canned lentils well so that the mixture is not too soft
