Add 1.5 cups of thick oats, 1/2 cup of nuts, and 1/2 cup of water to the blender with the onion.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of Himalayan pink salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sage, and 1 teaspoon of garlic and herb seasoning to the blender.

Blend the mixture until smooth, adding more water if needed to help it blend.

Once the lentils are cooked, add them to the blender and blend again until smooth.

Pour the blended mixture into a greased small casserole dish.

Pour a can of organic tomato sauce over the top of the mixture in the casserole dish.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 50 minutes.
