In a saucepan , heat oil and saut onion and carrot until tender.

You may need to add some more water while boiling.

---

Add spices , bullion , and yeast extract.

---

Boil about 30 40 minutes.

---

The lentils should be soft and the mixture should be thick but still have some water in it almost like cake mix.

---

Take off heat and stir in grated cheese and eggs.

---

Pour into a loaf pan and bake 35 45 minutes at 350f until firm.

Serve warm as a main dish or put it on bread for a sandwich.

You can vary the texture by using different varieties of lentils and can even add pinto or another bean to the mix.
