Lentils  loaf

This loaf is a great success at the table!  It is absolutely delicious! I usually served it with a salad and looks and tastes really good.
I promise that this amazing recipe will surprise you as you will be amazed by the taste of it.
And the best of it you can freeze it and take it out of the freezer for a lazy Sunday were you don't want to cook but still eat healthy.
