UPDATE: We adopted a plant based diet in September 2013 so, while this was definitely yummy, it no longer reflects the food we eat. 
Raf and I have decided that we’re going to be domestic pescatarians (we don’t eat land meat when we’re at home), so I have been looking for easy recipes that are delicious and packed full of protein. I adapted this recipe from my mother’s meat loaf recipe and it’s super simple and quick, especially if you cook the lentils the day before like I did. Plus lentils and rice together make a complete protein.
Ingredients:
1 cups green lentils
1 cup red lentils
10 oz cooked brown rice (I used Trader Joe’s precooked brown rice, which can be found in the freeze isle)
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 cup bread crumbs
3 eggs
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
Directions:
Preheat over to 400 degrees Fahrenheit Boil lentils until tender ~ 40 minutes. Put lentils in a large bowl and mash slightly, add rice, soup mix, bread crumbs, eggs, and ketchup and mix together. Put mixture into a greased loaf pan, top with additional ketchup and bake for 40 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
