MEAT-LITE MEATLOAF

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces (227g) white mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup (114g) onion, finely chopped
2 cups (300g) cooked lentils
8 ounces (227g) 90% lean ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
1/3 cup (75g) ketchup
1 teaspoon chili powder

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375°F (190ºC). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Place mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until tender and mushroom liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.

Place half of the lentils in a food processor and pulse until almost pureed; scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. In a large bowl, combine the pureed lentils, whole lentils and mushroom mixture. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into a 7-by-4-inch freeform loaf on the prepared sheet pan. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.

Combine ketchup and chili powder. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Brush ketchup mixture all over. Bake until a thermometer inserted in center registers 160°F (71ºC), about 10–15 minutes more. Slice loaf into 8 pieces.
