Chia seeds can provide similar binding properties.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive.

bell pepper

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Cabbage is a budget-friendly alternative.

Caramelize brown sugar in a pot over high heat until it melts and foams.

Add room temperature peas to the caramelized sugar and mix.

Cover the pot and let the peas braise for about 5 minutes.

Add diced onion, hot pepper, garlic, thyme, and tomato paste to the pot and stir.

Cover and let the mixture cook on low heat for about 5 minutes to release moisture.

Add water to the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, add salt and black pepper, then mix in freshly cut herbs.

Stir in oats and let them absorb the liquid with the heat off.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x4x3.5 inch loaf pan and bake for about 30 minutes.

Let the loaf cool on a wire rack before slicing.
