Ingredients

3/4 cup brown lentils, rinsed
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-3/4 cups shredded carrots
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons water

Directions

Place lentils and broth in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until tender, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9x5-in. loaf pan with parchment, letting ends extend up sides. Coat paper with cooking spray.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; saute carrots, onion and mushrooms until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in herbs. Transfer to a large bowl; cool slightly.
Add cheese, rice, egg, egg white, seasonings and lentils to vegetables; mix well. Transfer to prepared loaf pan. Mix tomato paste and water; spread over loaf.
Bake until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°, 45-50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
