I loved this. I included it as the main part of a typical New Zealand roast dinner. I accompanied it with roast potatoes, roast parsnips, steamed cauliflower, peas and vegetarian gravy.It would be great to serve to a non-vegetarian guest. I didn't bother with the breadcrumbs on top and with gravy I don't think it needs them.

I used a tomato/cream dry soup mix which gave the loaf a great flavor and color. The loaf itself is nice and moist but still I served it with lots of gravy. Next time I will leave out the bread crumbs because they all fell off when the slices were laid on their side.

Wow, this really surprised us! It is easy and very tasty. A lot of lentil recipes have a heavy bad taste to them, but this one is excellent. Even our three year old liked it. Thanks for the recipe!

This is delicious! I added a dash of hot sauce and a dash of Worchestershire sauce along with the herbs.

I made this for my husband, who usually hates lentils and is a big meat-eater. He took one bite and said, 'surprisingly, this is really, really good'. I loved it as well- I left off the crumb topping and used a powdered gravy mix instead of the soup mix. I microwaved leftovers with a couple of tablespoons of water, since they dried out after a few days. I'll be making it many more times.

I really love this recipe--I've made it twice and loved it each time! I did however, find it just a bit dry and too salty. To combat this, I'd try adding an extra egg and substituting water for the bullion or broth.

This is a great recipe! I did make some changes, though. First, I didn't have homemade vegetable broth (canned would've made it too salty), so I just used water. Second, I don't eat eggs, so I used 1/2 cup of soft silken tofu in place of the two eggs. Third, the bread crumbs on the top have to go. They make it too dry. I'd put ketchup or something on the top like you would with regular meatloaf. I did add 1/2 teaspoon of salt because I thought there would be complainers, but I really don't think it made that much of a difference, so I don't think I'd add it the next time I make this. Other than these minor things, it's a great recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
