Directions

Prep 10 minCook 50 min

1
Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly grease an 8- or 9-inch square casserole dish with a little olive oil.
2
Drain the lentils. Finely chop the celery and onion. Cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes; roughly chop the cashews.
3
Warm 2–3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery with a pinch of salt until softened and lightly golden, 5–7 minutes; remove from heat.
4
Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast, stirring once, until dry and lightly crisp, 5–10 minutes; set aside.
5
In a large bowl, combine lentils, toasted bread, sautéed vegetables, cashews, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, sage, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss until evenly moistened.
6
Spread the mixture in the prepared dish and bake uncovered until set and the top is lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
