Step 1

Boil 2 cups lentils in 5 cups of water. Leave them until tender.

When they are already beginning to brown add the garlic. Leave it for about 10 min.

Step 7

Add salt and pepper.

Step 8

Put the mixture into a loaf pan, if it is not the mold that you're going to serve it, line it with parchment paper.

Press it with a spoon, until firm and tight.

Step 10

To prepare the glaze, just mix all ingredients in a bowl.

Step 11

Spoon over the lentil-loaf and bake.
