Save time and cook the lentils ahead of time and store them in the fridge. If you do cook the lentils when making the recipe, be sure to allow them to cool before whisking them into the eggs. Adding hot lentils to the eggs will scramble them, something you don't want to happen.
Dice the onions as fine as possible to allow the onion to cook through completely while baking in the lentil loaf.
For even more flavor, toast the walnuts in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes, stirring once and watching carefully so they don't burn. Then chop and proceed with them in the lentil loaf recipe.
Substitute chopped pecans for the walnuts
