  • Heat half the oil in a frying pan and fry the carrot and half the onion for 5 mins to soften. Add the herbs and garlic, cook for a minute more, then tip the mixture into a bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs, beef mince, cheese, egg, ketchup and cooked lentils. Season well, then mix with clean hands.
  • Pack the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 45 mins. Rest for 10 mins, then turn out the loaf onto a serving plate. Slice the loaf into 6-8 thick slices, and serve with steamed greens and your choice of sauce.
