Like this one, my favorite no-m**t loaf, called Lentil
Loaf. It is so good, don't skimp on the sage, and you can,
if you wish, use a commercial spaghetti sauce for the
tomato sauce.
Lentil Loaf with Italian Sauce
1 large onion, diced
1/2 c. wheat germ
2 1/2 c. cooked lentils (about 1 cup uncooked)
1 c. bread crumbs
1-2 teaspoons dried sage
2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast (yellow flakes)
1/2 c. egg beaters
1/2 c. vegtable broth
Preheat oven to 350 deg., Pam a loaf pan or ring mold and
set aside.
Saute onion in skillet with bit of water or quick oil spray
until soft
and litely browned. Remove from heat and add remaining
loaf
ingred. and transfer to prepared pan. Bake until brown,
about 40
minutes.
Tomato Sauce: Place 12 oz tomato sauce, 12 oz can chopped
tomatoes, 1 T. fresh or 1 t. dried
Basil, 1 T. fresh or 1 t. dried oregano, 1/2 c. chopped
mushrooms in sauce pan and simmer for

1 c. sauce, slice loaf and pass sauce
for extras.
