1 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons shoyu or 2 tablespoons tamari
1 cup uncooked oats

2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

Steam the carrots until tender.
Drain the carrots, and, if desired, reserve the water to make a sauce to serve with the loaf.
Mix together the cooked carrots and lentils.
Mash them coarsely with a potato masher.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Pack the mixture into a well-oiled loaf pan.
Decorate the top of the loaf with nut halves, if desired.
Bake at 350 °F for 35-40 minutes, or until firm and golden brown.
After baking, let the loaf stand for about 5 minutes, and then unmold it onto a serving platter.
For an attractive presentation, surround the unmolded loaf with sliced ripe tomatoes, or any other colorful vegetable.
Serve with the sauce of your choice.
