Red lentil and Mediterranean veg?

Question

When my kids were little I used to have a recipe I think I got off a lentil packet, I know I used to boil the lentils with stock and pat them down in a flan dish as a sort of pie base and then add tomatoes, onions, courgettes and I think breadcrumbs were used and maybe cheese, and then I baked it, but I can't remember what else I did, the kids loved it.

Does anyone know any recipes like this?

Answer 2

It sounds very nice. The nearest thing I know to it is a lentil loaf recipe. My mum has a good recipe for this in one of her cookbooks, but she lives about 90 miles away. I can remember is had lentil, onions, and cheese in it and you boiled the lentils, friend the onions and mixed them together with the cheese and some herbs and then but it in a loaf tin and bake for about 30 mins and serve with a tomatoey sauce.
