What you do:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper, letting paper overhang sides of dish.
- 2. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of lentils, potatoes, garlic, tomato paste, tamari, onion flakes, flax meal, balsamic, tahini, oregano, thyme, celery seed, and black pepper. Pulse until well combined but not blended. Add remaining 1 cup lentils, oats, and pumpkin seeds and pulse a couple of times, scraping down bowl as needed, until mixture is fairly well combined but still has texture—take care not to overprocess. Remove blade and use a silicone spatula to mix once more by hand.
- 3. Transfer mixture to prepared loaf pan. Smooth out with a spatula to evenly distribute in dish. Using the same spatula, spread ketchup or barbecue sauce on top.
- 4. Cover with aluminium foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 6 to 7 minutes, until topping is set. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Lift loaf out of dish using parchment. Slice and serve.
