I discovered the fantastic Green Kitchen Stories website upon a friend’s recommendation. I am usually not a great fan of any sort of « x-free » style of food… But I have to say, the few recipes I have tried there are not only tasty but also quite easy & fun to make. They allow you to try some new ingredients or use ingredients you are used to in a totally different way. To « cook out a the box » really… So now let’s go…

For one loaf – Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

• Olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 200 g mushroom (sliced)
• 200 g hazelnut (chopped)
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup cooked lentils
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp rosemary
• A dash of lemon
• Salt & pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Pour olive oil in a frying pan and sauté garlic, mushroom and hazelnuts. Add thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Let it stir for 10 minutes and set aside for a couple of minutes. Mix eggs, milk, lentils, a dash of lemon and the spices in a bowl and add the vegetables. Pour everything into a non-stick loaf pan. Bake it for 45 minutes. Serve with a green salad or a soup for a healthy meal. Perfect before or after Christmas!
