Recipe

This hearty meatloaf is packed with nourishing ingredients to fuel your body and delight your taste buds. Lentils provide a powerhouse of plant-based protein and fibre, supporting digestion and keeping you full for longer. Mushrooms add a rich, umami depth of flavour while delivering essential antioxidants and immune-boosting properties. Walnuts bring a satisfying crunch and are brimming with omega-3 fatty acids, promoting brain health and reducing inflammation.

This pie is both healthy and affordable, expanding the basic meat and potato pie to one that is full of readily available seasonal vegetables. The spices and long list of vegetables make it a truly healthy, hearty meal.

Mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses, rich in essential nutrients like selenium, copper and potassium, which support immune function, red blood cell production and healthy blood pressure. They are one of the few plant-based sources of vitamin D, critical for bone health and immune resilience, especially when exposed to sunlight. Packed with beta-glucans, mushrooms help modulate the immune response, making them beneficial for fighting off infections and reducing inflammation.
