This yummy dish was passed on to me by a british rectors wife -it is very delicious, high in protein, and serves as a meat replacement – even my pro-meat husband was convinced and now loves it when i serve him lentil loaf and potatoes! This dish is dompletely vegetarian if made with vegetarian bullion.
