For this recipe I used:

1 cup dry lentils (divided in 2 after cooking)
1 cup oatmeal (divided in 2)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
8oz package mushrooms-chopped
Veggie broth or water for sauteeing veggies
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
½ tablespoon poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon vegan worchestire (or sub extra soy)
Glaze: Just ketchup or make your own homemade or (my favorite!) combine equal parts ketchup, bbq sauce and sriracha for a sweet and spicy glaze!

Cook 1 cup dry lentils according to package. Divide lentils in 2 after cooking.
Sautee veggies in veggie broth until tender.
In a food processor, combine cooked veggies w ½ cooked lentils, ½ cup oats and all seasoning. Gently process until combined but not mushy.
Combine mix from food processor with remaining lentils and oats.
Press into loaf pan.
Add ½ glaze to top of loaf.
Cook 30 minutes at 375.
Add remainder of glaze, cook an additional 5-15 minutes.
Let cool 15 minutes before slicing.
