The lentil meatloaf is a very tasty main course, easy and quick to prepare, and a great way to get kids to eat legumes. To prepare it, you can use canned lentils or dry ones, but if using dry, you must cook them beforehand, and in this case, don’t discard the cooking water as you can make a delicious lentil soup.
I cooked the meatloaf in the air fryer but you can also cook it in the oven or on the stove. I accompanied it with a delicious orange sauce which, in my opinion, complements it perfectly. If you like, you can also stuff it with tasty cheese as I did for the pumpkin and potato meatloaf. Anyway, I recommend trying it; it’s really very good. But now let’s see how to prepare it and what we need to make the lentil meatloaf.
