Bulgur/Lentil Loaf

Ingredients:

• 2 cups dry lentils
• 1 bay leaf
• 8 cups water
• 1 cup uncooked bulgar
• 1 cup soft bread crumbs
• 1 replaced egg
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 2 tsp. oregano
• 1 tsp. tarragon
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce

Directions:

Combine lentils, bay leaf, and 6 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil, then simmer until lentils are soft and the water absorbed, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, combine bulgar with 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil, cover, lower heat and simmer 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients (except BBQ sauce) in a large bowl and blend well. Pat into large loaf pan. Bake until firm, but not dry, about 40 minutes. During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush top with topping the BBQ sauce. Let loaf stand 15 minutes before slicing.
