walnuts, bread crumbs, and the onion mixture. Pulse the lentils in a food

processor until coarsely chopped, and add to the mixture.

well blended. Stir into the walnut mixture, season to taste with salt and

pepper, and transfer to the prepared pan. Smooth the top of the loaf.

to 15 minutes.

 

6. Meanwhile, heat the gravy in a small saucepan.

 

7. Slice the loaf and serve with the gravy.
