Very good. Have made it twice. The first time it was a bit too loose so the second time I added the optional breadcrumbs. That came out perfectly. As I found it a bit on the bland side the first time I decided to up the spices the second time I made it. Added one finely diced jalapeno pepper, two more garlic cloves and a tsp thyme. Will stick with that combination the next time I make it. Thanks for posting.

We are not vegetarians though we eat a lot of meatless meals. Still, my 7 year olf's favorite foods are in the "pizza, chicken nuggets, french fry" department. So the fact that he loved this as much as he did makes it a winner with me! I used egg whites, leeks instead of scallions, a penzey's spice mix with sage as the first ingredient, and used the optional breadcrumbs. This was beautiful and came out of my well sprayed loaf pan with absolutely no problem. I do think a sauce would only have enhanced this loaf, though I served mine with Sauteed Garlic Mushrooms, applesauce, and stuffing with fruit mixed in. A wonderful meal with the cold weather upon us.

Yum!! I had never had or made lentil loaf before and boy was I missing out! The only change I made to the recipe was to take the adice of the other reviwers and added 1 tsp of thyme and an extra garlic clove. I also made Roasted Red Pepper Sauce and served that on top of the lentil loaf. This is definately a keeper that I will be making again! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Step one: Cook your lentils. I will have to make note of that NEXT time I make this. Cook your lentils. I'll update when I re-make this.

This was alright in my opinion, buy my family loved it. It turned out kind of dry and broke in half when taking out of the pan. I probably contributed to the dryness, i squeezed the carrots and let the lentils drain really well. The soy sauce i think is what made the taste i didn't like.

I am not a vegetarian or vegan. That being said, I used an egg and added 1/3 of a cup of parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of ketchup and served a slice of this loaf along side a piece of meat. I enjoyed it and my husband said it was OK and ate it (which is saying a lot). I cant wait to have the left overs for lunch. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, this was great! I omitted the egg and used my own brown rice "mix" which includes equal parts of brown rice, barley and bulgur. I topped it with my own homemade BBQ sauce (which I will post one of these days!!) It turned out wonderfully. We took it to an after church potluck and it was a hit with everyone! Thanks for posting!
