I watched Giada DeLaurentis make her Mom's vegetarian meatloaf so today I decided to go shopping for ingredients. I have everything assembled. I did not get fresh spinach because it was FIVE BUCKS for a 4 or 5 cup plastic bucket as opposed to a frozen spinach packet and I don't have to chop it.
Step one: Cook one cup of lentils because I could not find CANNED lentils. Who cans lentils!?!?!
Step two: Cook two cups brown rice.
Step three: Reserve everything and cook it tomorrow.
Step four: drag out blender, cut in half one pint of cherry tomatoes. Eat three. Throw in blender, also add three chopped green onions, three tablespoons chopped garlic, salt, pepper, bunch a fresh basil, blend to leave bits of tomatoes recognizable. Set aside.
Step five: Saute one small chopped onion, one medium shredded carrot, one stalk of celery until tender. Add 10 ounces chopped spinach, add one cup frozen corn. Add 15 ounces of cooked lentils, add two cups cooked brown rice.
Step six: Add half of the cherry tomato/basil sauce, add one cup mozzarella cheese shredded, add three beaten eggs, salt and pepper to taste.
Step seven: Pour into baking dish, top with slices of fresh tomato, one cup mozzarella cheese and the remaining cherry tomato/basal sauce. Bake 350 for 35 minutes, let cool 15 minutes, slice and serve.
Step eight: Husband sampled and pronounced that he really liked it. He can't help it, he was raised vegetarian and does not think lentils taste like dirt.
Step nine: Clean all the dishes involved in this. Rest and repent.
