I love rice & lentils together (see my recipe M'jedra) & had some left over after making pilaf, so I made this. It was delicious, but I added fresh chopped garlic instead of powder, diced celery in place of the cherry tomatoes & sm amt bread crumbs to make the mixture stick together a little better - 12/12/08

Absolutely delicious! I made a few modifications: added diced portobello mushrooms, fresh rosemary, fresh garlic, serrano peppers, 1/2 cup of no-salt breadcrumbs, one egg and omited most of the onion and oil, as well as the tomato paste/sauce and most of the ketchup. I tried to keep the sodium down! - 8/31/09

I have made this 'meatloaf' or lentil-rice casserole several times! My son and I love it! I actually use a large casserole dish rather than a loaf pan and it turns out great! I love the idea of using the leftovers for stuffed peppers! Thanks for this wonderful recipe and all the good ideas! - 7/21/09

This recipe was good for its nutritional value. The flavor was a little shallow and I would definitely recommended increasing the spices. In regards to texture, it is definitely more a lentil rice casserole than a meatless meatloaf. I made it for vegan friends and would not make it again for my fam. - 2/27/08

This was delicious! I messed up, added too much rice (I didn't measure, and ended up with around 4 cups), and I didn't add enough salt before cooking. But I cooked the lentils and rice the night before to speed up the cooking process, and used TJ's twenty spices salute. I will make this again! - 3/5/12

In its current state, this recipe is the epitome of bland, boring veg cuisine, but it has potential. I omitted the ketchup due to its high sugar and salt content, and in lieu of powder I used three small cloves of garlic. I also added celery; I served it with shiitakes and a red wine reduction. - 8/31/09

This is Nom-Nommy! I added more spices,'cause I can.
For people who are not vegetarian: This is not a meat loaf, will not taste like a meat loaf, it looks somewhat like a meat loaf, will provide protein like a meat loaf does. That is where the similarity ends. It is a yummy lentil/rice loaf. Nom it - 2/9/13

This was okay. We certainly needed more ketchup to dip bites into. The texture was fine, but I think that it needs more spices cause my bf thought I hadn't used any :) Also, it made way more than I expected. I could not use a loaf pan, but had to use an 8x10. Would eat again, but needs work. - 12/29/12
