Notes

Make-ahead instructions: You may make the lentil loaf forward of time and refrigerate for upto 3 days.  I might not make the crust and bake the Wellington forward of time, as a result of the crust will proceed to soak up moisture from the lentil loaf and can soften because it sits in a single day.
