Ingredients

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) vegetable broth
3/4 cup lentils, rinsed
1-3/4 cups shredded carrots
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

In a saucepan, bring broth and lentils to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. In a nonstick skillet, saute the carrots, onion and mushrooms in oil for 10 minutes or until tender. Add basil and parsley; saute 5 minutes longer. In a large bowl, combine the carrot mixture, cooked lentils, cheese, rice, egg, egg white, garlic powder, salt and pepper; mix well.

I've been a vegetarian all of my 81 years and was brought up having Lentil Roats(loaf). I make it different each time but needed this one to really go by. It is great but I had to put a little hot sauce in mine.

I really enjoyed this, great nutrition in a comfort type meal. You will not miss the meat and you won't feel guilty if you eat more than one serving. Use a food processor and it's quite easy!
