Lentil-Rice Roast with Cashew Gravy (p. 109-110)

A moist, savory main course smothered in a cashew gravy that's perfect for a holiday feast.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups lentils
  • 1 1/2 cups millet
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice
  • 9 cups water
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup cashews, finely ground
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons crumbled sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • Salt to taste
  • Garlic powder (optional)

Cashew Gravy

  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Pick over the lentils, then combine in a saucepan with the millet, rice, and water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until cooked, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans.

Add the remaining loaf ingredients and mix well. Transfer mixture to loaf pans and bake for 1 hour, or until lightly brown and the top is dry to the touch.

Make gravy. Place ingredients in a blender and liquefy. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, heat the gravy, stirring constantly, until thick. Add more water if the gravy becomes too thick. Keep warm.

Serves 12 to 16

Preparation Time: 1 1/2 hours
Baking Time: 1 hour
