Mushroom & lentil loaf

[K Dee]

tin green lentils

I used the tinned lentils and it turned out fine and tasty too.

Here's my version

I think I might bite the bullet and make this! As I've never tried lentils before it could be interesting As a lentil-virgin, can anyone tell me the nicest ones to use? xx

 

[grumbletumble]

I was never keen on lentils really, i've only made this with green and found it really tasty. Not sure if anyone has made it with both red & green lentils.

Maybe silly sausage can do a scientific experiment for you and make one of each and do a taste test :giggle:

 

[dudette2001uk]

Lol! Thanks for that hun I could only get red split lentils today, so I'm going to try those I'm also going to try adding some smoked bacon to it, bit of an experiment! xx

 

[dudette2001uk]

Well it's in the oven, os fingers crossed it doesn't ooze out of the tin, lol!

ordered some lentils to try this one now!! xxx

I got some loaf tin liners from the 99p store as got fed up of trying to get the loaf tins clean when I did the egg and ham loaf so used them for this too, sprayed a bit of spray light on it and it was easy to peel the loaf off when cooked

 

[grumbletumble]

That's a really good idea emsie! My loaf tin is scratched to ******* after trying to clean it! I was thinking of getting a silicone loaf tin, but this might be better.

 

[dudette2001uk]

Well this is lovely!! I think the bacon may have been a mistake as it's made it really salty, but it's yummy nonetheless xx

Never cooked with lentils before... This was lovely! Will def make again & will be on look out for tinned lentils next time. Would b interested in any other (SW friendly) similar recipes anyone has to share x

Got one cooking in the oven mmmmm (loaf that is nothing else for me hopefully!)

Just replying so that I can find this thread again when I've got some lentils in - looks lovely and I like silly sausage's idea of reducing the cheese so you can have it as a HEXA.

Thanks for the recipe!

Well I couldn't wait after seeing this recipe - dived out to shops to get the lentils & fresh chestnut mushrooms (our Asda didn't have dried).

It's in the oven & I just hope the marmite doesn't ruin it for me Not a liker let alone a lover of he dark stuff!

Even using FF cheese, as long as it's divided into 4 servings, it's only just over the HEA daily allowance per serving.

I've got my fingers crossed I like this as it'll be ideal to freeze & take to work with a mixed salad.

this sounds lovely think im gonna give it a go and report back how it is, thank you

 

[Minimunchkins]

The jury's in & the verdict is - - - flippin scrummy EVEN WITH THE MARMITE

Left it to cool a bit & it came out of my silicone loaf tin like a dream. A couple of bits are in the freezer for later in the week but got a slice with salad for tommorrow.

Wondering why you would have wanted dried mushrooms? I just use ordinary mushrooms in mine Sounds like yours turned out well anyway!
I really want to make this again got no green lentils at the mo might try it with red!

Futher to my earlier post of loving this loaf, I've had another go & used a tin of chick peas instead of the lentils.
Just as scrummy in my opinion.
Next time, I might squash or halve the chick peas as it did tend to crumble a bit more than the lentil version.

Hey Grumble

I served this loaf at a dinner party last night and my non-SW pals were raving about it and polished it off. The recipe was stuck to the fridge door and they left with it

 

[grumbletumble]

Yay!!! That's fantastic silly! Just goes to show veggie slimming world food isn't boring or tasteless!

I still haven't got over my aversion to mushrooms or onions yet! I'm quite miffed I used to have mushrooms and onions just about everyday before i became pregnant! Humph!
