INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 180c and line a loaf pan with baking paper – set aside.
On medium heat add oil and onions to a saucepan. Sauté for a couple minutes before adding the celery and carrots. Cook for a further couple of minutes before adding capsicum. Let it cook for 8-10 minutes until the veggies have softened.
While that cooks, mix ground linseeds with water and set aside. This is the flax egg.
In a food processor, add half the cooked lentils (1/2 Cup), the mushrooms, walnuts, and sunflower seeds. Pulse until you get a finely diced consistency.
In a large bowl, add in the sauteed vegetables, mushroom mix, the rest of the cooked lentils, finely diced herbs, buckwheat flour, tomato paste, tamari sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and flax egg.
Mix thoroughly to combine well.
Press mixture into the prepared loaf pan and make sure the top is nice and flat.
In a small bowl combine all the glaze ingredients, and brush on the top of the loaf.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour
Remove from the oven and let sit for 30 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
Can be served immediately or served cold.
