Meatloaf With Lentils and Vegetables

"I found this recipe online while looking for a good veggie-filled meatloaf. I made a few changes, even though I haven't made it yet. It sounds like it would be good with ground turkey or chicken as well (with the corresponding stock). The web site I found it on recommended topping with a salad made from baby salad leaves, lentils, carrot, onion, and tomato and red pepper chutney. I plan on topping it with tomato sauce or BBQ sauce."

Questions & Replies

  1. "3/4 cup lentils, cooked". Does this mean 3/4 cup "already cooked lentils"? or is it "3/4 cup of the uncooked lentil beans and then cook them"?

  2. Once cooked through, this gave a light Meatloaf that was great to eat and one that did not sit on the stomach! I think the inclusion of the Lentils was a wonderful idea.
