Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 1 cup button mushrooms chopped (I used champignons)
  • 1 carrot chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 eggs for composition + 3 more (optional – to place inside the veggie bake)
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 1 bunch dill
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 2 tsps thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil the lentils for 15 minutes then strain them very well and place them in a large bowl.
  • Heat some olive oil in a large pan and saute the chopped onion, mushrooms, and carrot, for about 7-10 minutes. They don’t have to be completely cooked. Place them over the lentils in the bowl.
  • Add 2 eggs, chopped parsley, green onions, dill, sea salt, pepper, and thyme. Start blending them all together.
  • Optional – Boil 3 eggs.
  • Place the composition in a previously greased form, any shape you want (preferably a taller one if you add the extra 3 eggs).
  • Add half of the composition, place the peeled, boiled eggs and then cover them with the other half.
  • Place in oven and cook at about 180ºC/356ºF for 30-40 minutes.
  • Let it cool a bit before removing it from the form.

Notes

If you wait until it cools down a bit it will come out of the form really nice. I was impatient as always and cut it immediately so it didn’t stick together that well.
