Black quinoa, green lentils, cashews and sundried tomatoes combined together to make a fabulously delicious and flavourful vegetarian loaf that your whole family will love. Gluten free, hearty, filling, and loaded with protein, fiber and you won't even miss the meat.
Black Quinoa Loaf with Lentils, Sundried Tomatoes and Cashews
adapted from Taste
|
- Grease and line the base and two sides of a 25cm x 11cm loaf tin, allowing the paper to overhang on the two sides.
- Place the quinoa in a bowl, cover with cold water and set aside to soak for 15 minutes. Cook lentils in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 15 minutes. Drain the quinoa, then add to lentils and cook for 15 minutes or until the lentils and quinoa are tender. Rinse and drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, chilli and cashews and cook, stirring for 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes, or until the onion is tender.
- Place the lentils and quinoa in a large bowl. Add the onion mixture, grated carrot, sundried tomatoes, fresh herbs, eggs and season with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine and press into the loaf tin.
- Arrange extra sundried tomatoes and cashews on top and bake for 40-45 minutes, (covering if browning too quickly) or until golden firm. Leave to cool in the tin. Cut into slices and serve with some yoghurt dressing on a bed of salad.

Angie, you are so creative in our baking! Looks interesting and healthy!
..sorry..typo.. I meant to say.. you are so creative in your baking. :D
Bet this would taste awesome with that yoghurt dressing and salad. Love the toppings of cashews - needs to be used more in savory cooking in my opinion. Great recipe Angie, another one I can't wait to try.
So delicious.. I would like some :) very nice vegetarian meal..
It looks sooo delicious. Lovely presentation. Very tempting :)
Hey Angie dear, wishing you a very Happy Chinese New Year ! ((hugs)) Its been a while since my last visit, has been extremely busy these days. Wish I have more time for myself. Anyway, hope you're doing well. *gong xi gong xi*

The combination of your ingredients is always so brilliant.You have talent Angie. This is delicious!
Wow Angie, your bread looks amazing and so healthy. You are becoming such an experienced bread baker! I've never found black quinoa in Greece but I will definitely try making bread using regular quinoa in the future.
How cool is this?! I know we wouldn't miss the meat - this looks delicious. I wonder if you could make it with rice instead of quinoa - love the sun dried tomatoes - wonderful!
That's a stunning loaf. I'd love to try it!
while i have put sundried tomato pieces in bread before, it was a long time ago, and cashews and quinoa were definitely no involved. this is an extremely unique loaf, angie, and it looks great! the cross-section is stunning!
What an absolutely fabulous combination of flavors. I must try to find some black quinoa.

I love all the components of this loaf - cashews give it such a wonderful healthy richness! It looks perfect on top of that bed of greens.
