Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I want to hear from those who tried Lentil Loaf Recipe... I did -- and all I can say is Where did I go wrong? It was awful! After it cooled, it didn't slice well...as was reported. I used the recipe with 1 c lentils, 2 c oatmeal, catsup, mayo, worchester, soy sauce, 3 c broth, garlic.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Mine always slices. I think I cook it a bit longer than the recipe says so maybe that's the trick. It has to be really cool before you slice it and it slices better after it sits for a day in the fridge. I think Donna said not to use red lentils but that's what I always use. You will hear from her later, for sure Audrey - echolike Saturday, October 17, 2009 10:11 PM Lentil Loaf I want to hear from those who tried Lentil Loaf Recipe...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I did cook it a little longer -- It is actually soggy...even the day after. ?? ________________________________ Audrey Z Burrows <quiltbug Sun, October 18, 2009 3:40:46 AM Re: Lentil Loaf Mine always slices.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 There is no way this is a soggy loaf. You had to have the lentils too wet or watery. Just take the loaf, form it into meatball sized balls, roll is seasoned breadcrumbs and brown in a skillet. There is always a way to salvage a recipe gone wrong. I have at least 50 people I have given this recipe too and have never had one say it didn't taste delcious or turn out. I serve it every Thanksgiving and Christmas and make it several times a year. Good luck, create. Donna , echolike <echolike wrote: > > I did cook it a little longer -- It is actually soggy...even the day after. ??

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 You did something wrong, I wouldn't even say this loaf is awful. My Grampa and me eat this all the time and he's really old and can make it on his own too. We like it the next day too and usually make a fried egg sandwich and put a big slice in the sandwich with a onion slice and mayo. What's ya'all do to those lentil, you didn't make them into a soup and then use them did ya?

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I may try the meat ball idea...like falafel. Do you drain your lentils after cooking? ________________________________ DonnaLilacFlower <thelilacflower There is no way this is a soggy loaf. You had to have the lentils too wet or watery.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I dunno, Annie...but the mixture did fill up the loaf pan almost to the top...and it didn't sink with cooking. Is yours like that? ________________________________ Annie <anniefromthehills Sun, October 18, 2009 12:51:57 PM Re: Lentil Loaf You did something wrong, I wouldn't even say this loaf is awful.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I cook them until they are a semi-firm tender not mushy and I use brown lentils and I don't completely drain, I just left them with a slotted spoon. I say try the balls and if you want try the recipe again sometime see if our suggestions helped. Do you like lentils? Maybe lentils don't appeal to you. There is not one food item that every single person likes. For a healthy vegan loaf you can't beat it.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I do like lentils...any kind of beans. It's a mystery...but I will try to salvage. ________________________________ DonnaLilacFlower <thelilacflower Sun, October 18, 2009 1:30:58 PM Re: Lentil Loaf I cook them until they are a semi-firm tender not mushy and I use brown lentils and I don't completely drain, I just left them with a slotted spoon.
