Question and Answer Sessions
Are canned lentils an acceptable substitute for dry lentils?
Canned lentils are perfectly OK to use. Before blending, be sure to rinse and drain them well. Since canned lentils are pre-hydrated, you won’t need to add as much water to the recipe.
Is there anything I can use instead of flaxseeds?
Swap out the flaxseeds with chia seeds and use the same amount. The thickening effect of chia seeds when combined with water is similar to that of flaxseeds.
Am I able to cook this recipe without gluten?
Since it calls for no wheat-based ingredients, this dish is inherently gluten-free. If you’re concerned about gluten, check that the oats you’re using are gluten-free.
For what length of time is it best to keep leftovers?
Refrigerate any leftovers for no more than four days if sealed tightly. Parts may be warmed separately in the oven or microwave.
Will this bake freeze okay?
The cooked dish can, in fact, be frozen. Once cooled, encase it in a tight plastic and aluminum foil package. Up to three months of storage time is possible in the freezer.
How about some more flavoring?
If you’d prefer it sweeter, try adding dried cranberries or raisins, or spice it up with ginger, nutmeg, or cinnamon.
In what ways can I adapt this dish to be suitable for vegans?
Since it calls for neither meat or dairy, this dish is automatically suitable for vegans. In place of eggs, the flaxseed combination adds binding and moisture.
Would another kind of seed or nut work instead?
