Notes

Make-ahead instructions: You may make the lentil loaf forward of time and refrigerate for upto 3 days.  I’d not make the crust and bake the Wellington forward of time, as a result of the crust will proceed to soak up moisture from the lentil loaf and can soften because it sits in a single day. As an alternative, make the dough forward of time and make the lentil loaf forward of time, and preserve them within the fridge for as much as 2 to three days. Then, when you’re prepared, roll out the dough, place your lentil loafs in it, after which bake simply earlier than you’re prepared to your occasion.
This loaf is fairly moist, relying on how lengthy you bake it. In the event you bake it a bit too lengthy, the crust would possibly get a bit extra crispy, so it positively advantages from being served with a gravy.
Nutfree: This recipe gluten-free and soy free. If you wish to make it with out nuts, you’ll be able to convert it right into a lentil loaf with out the pastry, or if yow will discover a gluten-free, nut-free puff pastry then use that. Additionally omit the pecans from the loaf and use pumpkin seeds as a substitute.
