I realize that just seeing the the word "lentil" is going to turn some people off, and that would be a shame. Admittedly, this dish is not a hit with everyone I have ever served it to, but I think it is delicious and the majority of people I have made it for have enjoyed it too.
I even featured a sample of this in a class I taught about inexpensive protein sources. Over a year later I ran into a lady who had attended the class. She brought up the class and the lentil joes enthusiastically and said she had been making them regularly ever since even though she had been skeptical initially. So, I heartily recommend giving these a try even if you're not sure about them. They freeze great and are very inexpensive at about $0.80 a serving.
