Instructions
- Prep the Filling: Sauté the sliced mushrooms and red onion in a pan for 2-3 minutes. Add the spices (garlic powder, turmeric, salt, Italian seasoning) and sauté for another 2 minutes. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cilantro, then switch off the flame.
- Make the Batter: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked lentils, tofu, garlic, ginger, salt, and water. Blend until smooth. Pro-tip: If the batter feels too thin, add a bit more tofu to thicken it up.
- Layering: Grease a round cake pan. Pour in half of the lentil batter, spreading it evenly. Layer the sautéed mushroom mixture on top, then cover with the remaining batter.
- Remove Bubbles: Tap the pan firmly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake: In a preheated oven at 250°, bake for 55-60 minutes.
- The Shiny Finish : Brush the top with a little olive oil (Optional) and broil for 3 minutes to get that beautiful, shiny golden crust.
