  1. Minus the oats. Add 1 cup bread crumbs. Add 1 jar of tomato sauce and yummy!!
     
  2. 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. :)
     
  3. Great recipe, I did add sauteed onions and a lot more garlic to it!
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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!

  1. 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 <a href="/174171">Sauteed Garlic Mushrooms</a>, applesauce, and stuffing with fruit mixed in. A wonderful meal with the cold weather upon us.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review. Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore. I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck. Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine. No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
