Add garlic and salt and pepper for a minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool

Pulse together lentils, cooked vegetables, tomato paste, BBQ sauce, flax meal, parsley, oats and breadcrumbs. Blend in batches if needed.

Form mixture into a log and place on baking paper on an enclosed oven tray

Bake for 35 minutes on 180c

Remove and spread tomato sauce all over (use more sauce if needed) and sprinkle brown sugar to help caramelise
