lentil-walnut loaf

This Lentil-Walnut Loaf is adapted from a recipe by Terry Walters—multitalented cookbook author, motivational speaker, and food educator. Raved about by blog readers, husbands, children, and recipe testers alike, this recipe has inspired many people to claim the result is better than traditional meat loaf. Of course I agree! It’s a bit of a fussy recipe, but it’s always worth the time and effort. Be sure to finely chop all the vegetables so the loaf holds together well. I love to serve it with Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes, applesauce, and/or steamed greens. Thank you, Terry, for the inspiration!
