We made this for the 2023 Thanksgiving dinner and was so delicious. I loved it and so did my family

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

That's so nice to hear!! :) So glad you enjoyed it.

[@Silverstreak7878]

I really appreciate the recipe details!

[@behemoth5344]

Beautiful recipe and even more beautiful eyebrows. I'm trying it tomorrow. Thank you :)

[@AC-gw4qu]

Great video. Thanks! Consider using the parchment paper in the pan with two "handles" on either side to life the loaf out of the pan. Less risk of it losing its shape or damaging the pan with a knife, etc. Parchment is oven-safe up to about 425F, so it should be fine here. Also, consider applying half the glaze in the last 10 minutes of baking, and the other half when it comes out.

[@dahliashaw1011]

Will definitely try this recipe.

[@name.terrie]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. It looks quite tasty.

[@muaythai1]

Ehii, Ho provato questa ricetta ed è davvero deliziosa, mamma mia che buona , buonissima🫠, grazie mille 💪😎

[@pyritecindi7384]

This looks amazing. That glaze makes it special. Would definitely do that step.

[@trentonbanks8549]

You did that thing!!!😊Must try soon.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

You can also free-form the lentil loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a Silpat liner. Also, I like to pour on the glaze about ten minutes before the loaf is done.

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

Great tips! Freeform lentil loaf is always a good option if you don't have a loaf pan.

[@lourdeslopez9833]

Looks sooo good

[@feralcatofthenorth]

Looks delicious!

[@kindnessmatters5215]

I’m so looking forward to trying this. Meatloaf is the one thing I miss. I believe I will add some Marmite for more umami and a little hot sauce. Will use Better Than Bullion for gravy and voila! Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, mixed veggies and I’m in heaven!! Thank you so much!!

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

I love Better than Bouillon! I've never tried Marmite but you've inspired me grab it next time I see it at the store.

[@allenwolk874]

SOO much work!

[@sunnyshealthcoaching]

I love your recipes thank you again!

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

You're very welcome!

[@edprotas4148]

I always use my hands to mix up meatloaf. I am not vegetarian (though I lean that way) and plan to use a couple of eggs (more protein) instead of the flax. The recipe does look tasty!! Thanks for sharing.

[@tiffanytate1528]

Looks Amazing... adding ingredients to shopping list! Can't wait to try the touch of mustard for an extra kick to topping sauce. Fan of mustard & never would of thought of it!

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

I love adding mustard to everything, so I thought it might be a nice touch in the ketchup sauce too. I hope you enjoy!

[@annsmith7321]

Made this today! So Yummy! Thanks for the great recipe!! Subscribed!!

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@irahandwerker8557]

loveit ty usually add brown rice to minei

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

love that idea!

[@president-7naturalherbsinc694]

Thanks

[@sjabneymotley]

I really enjoyed this! The texture was excellent! I’m going to try it with bread crumbs next time instead of the oats. I wanted a savory taste so I used the extra mushrooms I had leftover and made a gravy for it and it was absolutely delicious 😋

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

I'm so glad you liked it! I bet the gravy was delicious too :)

[@lindabonomi7274]

GREAT video!!!!!

[@sananaski008]

I just tried this recipe and turned out AWESOME!! Im so happy about it. I made it extra sticky with a double batch of sauce. Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe❤

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

Thanks so much for trying it! ☺️

[@mattiabeccari]

In Italy we eat lentils on New Year’s Eve, they are said to bring good luck!

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

I didn't know that! Here we do that but with black-eyed peas :)

[@victoriablanc761]

I was looking for a TVP meatloaf but this looks really good. love the addition of the walnuts. we don't use the flax egg but a ground chia seed egg works just as well. am for sure going to try this this week. and yes please keep recipes like this coming. I know especially for new vegans that getting a good rotation of recipes for dinner is always their big challenge. so whether you've been vegan for a long time, a short time or just want more meatless options, videos like this are very helpful.

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

Thanks for the kind comment! I agree, a ground chia egg is a good substitute. Happy cooking! :)

[@brianhoover8414]

Looks yummy 😋

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

Thanks Brian!

First of all, this is a spectacular looking recipe and I'm going to definitely try it. I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian, in fact I hunt my own meat because I want the animals to be dispatched as mercifully as possible. I process all my own Meats and I actually don't eat that much of it. I really admire people who choose a vegetarian and vegan diet. I applaud their commitment to their conviction and their ability to be so creative. I can't wait to try this dish. By the way, I just made what I think is my favorite one till dish and I hope you try yourself. I combined mashed potatoes lentils and cauliflower and the combination was amazingly delicious. Got to play with the seasoning to get it the way you like it but it's good. There should be no reason why people with different World Views about various topics should not be able to get along and respect each other. Final note, that's not an ugly dish at all. It's probably the first one I would go to at the party

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

I appreciate your comment, and I agree that it’s great when we can all share recipes and meals despite different world views! I hope you love the recipe. Mashed potatoes and lentils are a great combo and I’m sure cauliflower just makes it better!

[@lisasamuel8709]

My friend introduced me to this recipe and I am definitely going to try it. Looks delicious. It's not "nasty" just thorough 🎉🎉

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Hi. Tip when working with lentils: make sure to go through them very very carefully. I missed a small stone once (garlic kale lentils) and almost broke a tooth.

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

Yikes! I am not super thorough with sorting lentils, so thanks for the tip.

[@janetg.]

Can you use black lentils for this recipe? Also, what do yo suggest if your allergic to mushrooms and carrots? What would you use?

[@TheNathanj2009]

I feel sad for the little chickpea that got left on the counter 😢

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

RIP 😔

[@diannedobies2545]

Can you list the recipe, please 😊 8:04

[@kimberleymc7780]

Where are the ingredients? No list of what is in it ?

[@onesimusdeerinwater5523]

Can I make it into fake. meatball s????

[@CozyPeachKitchen]

Ooh that is a great idea, I don't see why not!

[@voice4voicelessKrzysiek]

It is nasty to use your bare hands for mixing (this is only MY opinion based on MY OWN feelings, don't judge). You can always use gloves!
