Method

  • Thoroughly wash your lentils and rice. Cook them following the packet instructions. The recipe will hold together better if the lentils are slightly overcooked. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  • In the meantime, prepare all your other ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Once heated, add the onion, garlic, carrot, and kale. Cook for a two minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms, oregano and thyme and continue to cook until everything is tender.
  • Using a large mixing bowl, combine your vegetables, rice, and lentils with the ground flax seeds, nutritional yeast, nuts, and raisins.
  • Mix everything well to ensure good binding of the ingredients.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a casserole dish.
  • Cook for 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve with some rich onion gravy!
