Walnut and Lentil Loaf or Laugh?

4/30/2016

If I'm in the galley, it is normally 'laugh'!

I was given a wonderful gift by my boating buddy Jude. ‘The Bean Book’ by Rose Elliot.
 
Noel and I had morphed into survival mode with too many jobs to do on board and our leave date fast approaching. This meant meals were hasty-tasties, involving much meat.
 
We were both ready to get back into vegetarian meals (with just a taste of meat now-and-then), when Jude announced she had an extra copy of this book – it was exactly what I needed.

I also needed this too!
First attempt
Walnut and Lentil Loaf – now called Walnut and Lentil Laugh (recipe at the end).
 
'Laugh' because I was short of time and swooped up – what I thought were - the green lentils and got busy chopping and dicing.
 
It wasn’t until half way through the recipe that I realised I was cooking split peas!
 
‘They’ll be fine,’ Noel said, ‘I like them.’

Hmmmmmmmm...
So I battled on and despite being a little ‘gluggy’ the loaf (made in a non-loaf tin!) was quite tasty with plenty of gravy and sweet chilli sauce.

However, the next day, the ‘loaf’ had dried out and become a bit crunchy – the flavours stirred, mixed, and wafted, and with a green salad the ‘laugh’ was utterly divine.

We ate it all - failed to get a pic with salad! But this was the best way to eat it - cold the next day!
Next recipe to try is the Red Bean Moussaka.
 
The loaf recipe is definitely a keeper – but do I use split peas again or try the lentils next time?

See what else we are up to here.
We have a boat for sale, a 1920s Dutch barge - take a look around here.
