1 cup plant-based milk
1 cup lingonberries or chopped cranberries

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Butter a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with vegan butter or oil.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the lentils or plant-based meat, onion, flax egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, thyme, and plant-based milk until thoroughly mixed.
Step 3
For the glaze, in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the lingonberries, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring often.
Step 4
Cook the glaze for 10 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened and reduced by half.
Step 5
Pour half of the glaze into the bottom of the loaf pan. Gently press the meatloaf mixture on top to form an even shape.
Step 6
Pour the remaining glaze over the meatloaf.
Step 7
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the meatloaf is thoroughly cooked through.
Step 8
Serve with the extra juices from the pan, potatoes, and your favorite vegetables.
