this is one of my favourite foods, there is no explanation why this tastes as good as it does!

Ingredients

6	oz red lentils
12	oz unsalted stock
1	large onion
6	oz mushrooms
1	oz salted butter
1	tbsp parsley
4	oz grated cheddar cheese
1	egg

Directions

1. put the lentils into a saucepan with the stock or water and simmer them gently until the lentils are soft and tender and all the moisture is absorbed (they go almost translucent sometimes) this may take more water deending on the lentils, so if your not sure add a little more
   
   
2. set the oven to 150 degrees celsius, mark 5
   
   
3. peel and chop the onion
   
   
4. wipe and slice the mushrooms (i like to use chesnut mushrooms, they taste good)
   
   
5. melt the butter in a frying pan and gently fry the onion and mushrooms together for about 10 minutes (the pan should begin to fill with moisture from the mushooms)
   
   
6. add the mushroom and onion mix to the cooked lentils, along with the parsley, grated cheese and egg. mix well and season
   
   
7. spread the mix into a well greased swiss roll tin or loaf tin and bake for 35 minutes until it is set andgolden brown
   
   
8. serve cut in slices
