Ingredients
Main Roast
1 cup mixed nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, and cashews)
1 cup cooked lentils
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Cranberry Glaze
1 cup cranberries
1/4 cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the mixed nuts until they are finely chopped.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, cooked lentils, cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and dried herbs. Mix well until a sticky mixture forms.
