Ingredients
- 180 g (~ 1 cup) red lentils
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 bell peppers, diced fairly small (I used orange and yellow)
- 1/2 large courgette (zucchini), grated
- Small handful green beans, sliced
- 300 g (~ 2 1/2 cups) frozen sliced mushrooms (or a few fresh mushrooms)
- 2 tsp garlic paste (or 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- 9 eggs
- 200 g cheddar cheese, grated (~ 2 cups when grated)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- Spray oil
Instructions
- Boil the red lentils in plenty of water until very soft - around 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly, then set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the diced peppers, grated courgette, sliced green beans, frozen mushrooms, and garlic paste. Cook over a medium heat for around 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and any excess water has cooked off. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs, and mix in the grated cheese. When the cooked lentils and vegetables have cooled a bit, combine them with the egg mixture, and season with salt, pepper and dried parsley. Mix thoroughly until everything is full combined.
- Spray a baking dish with oil (mine measured approximately 8 x 8 inches), and pour in the mixture. Cover with foil or a lid, and bake at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 45 minutes. Then uncover the dish and bake for a further 25 minutes, or until the centre of the veggie bake is firm and the top is nicely browned.
