Lentil and Brazil Nut Roast

 

Recipe By :Eating with the Seasons by Paula Bartimeus

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Winter

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 ounces black turtle beans -- soaked overnight

1 strip kombu or wakame (seaweed) -- rehydrated

7 ounces green lentils -- soaked overnight

1 onion -- peeled, chopped

4 ounces celery -- finely chopped

7 ounces carrots -- peeled, grated

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons tamari soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon yeast extract

2 teaspoons dried sage

1 teaspoon dried thyme

4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 1/2 tablespoons tomato puree

1 tablespoon arrowroot

 

1. Drain and rinse black turtle beans and simmer in boiling water with the kombu

(seaweed) for 1 hour. Remove soak water from lentils and simmer in boiling water

for 25 minutes. When both are soft, drain and mash them together in a large

basin.

 

2. Saute the onion, celery and carrot in the olive oil for 5 minutes, add the

tamari and yeast extract and simmer for a few minutes until the vegetables are

soft. Pour into the bean and lentil basin, add all remaining ingredients and mix

so that everything is well blended. This can be done in a food mixer if

available.

 

3. Place into an oiled 2 lb loaf tin, cover with foil and bake in a preheated

oven at 350F for 2 hours. To crisp up the top, the foil can be removed in the

final 10 minutes of cooking time.

 

Arrowroot: A starch derived from a rhizomes of a tropical plant. It's a white,

powdery thickener finer than flour, flavorless, more transparent than

cornstarch. Substitute equal amounts for cornstarch. Maximum thickening is

reached before boiling occurs.
