Wild Rice Mushroom & Lentil Timbales
Another dish that was extremely well received at my Thanksgiving dinner was the Wild Rice Mushroom & Lentil Timbales. These were excellent! Quite easy to prepare too.

You do have to plan ahead to make this dish, unless you routinely happen to have already cooked wild rice and lentils on hand.
But that's the only tricky part about the recipe. Otherwise, they are quite easy to put together in the food processor.
You take a couple of large slices of bread (whole wheat is great), pulse to crumbs, then add mushrooms, tofu, garlic and sherry (if you're using it), then pulse until smooth. The lentils, tomato paste, and herbs are pulsed next, before you turn the mixture out into a bowl and stir in the cooked wild rice.
They are cooked in ramekins placed in a water bath. I loved their texture. Creamy with a slight chewiness of the wild rice. I served them with mushroom gravy on the side.
They can be made somewhat ahead and then just reheated in their water bath. I really enjoyed them and will certainly make them again.
