Cumbrians, please can you help me to make my husband happy?

DH is Cumbrian and remembers his Granny making him something called lentil mold...that he tells me is more delicious than it sounds (not hard).
He assures me it is a regional speciality. I am from Essex, we ate food, you know chops and egg and things.

Apparently it is cooked lentils, mashed potato and something something something. You mix it all together, press it in a mold of some sort (details vague) and then fry the cold slices.
Doesn’t that sound DELIGHTFUL.

We have been married for 32 years and he speaks longingly of this every year or so, and I have now cracked and said I will eat a slice if he makes it, but he can’t find the recipe.

Does this ring any bells at all? Thank you

I have this Cumbrian cookbook (hopefully picture attaches) I've added a photo of the recipe index, any chance it could be any of those?

Also thanks for giving me a reason to open this book for the first time ever 😂

@StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes - they still sell savouries in the indoor market. I think you can now buy the mixture in bulk delivered since lockdown too.

My Scottish mum used to make layers of sausage meat, sliced tomatoes, mashed tatties and cheese in a casserole dish 😍

I’m from Cumbria and have never heard of it. My family would have fallen off their chairs in shock if you served them anything with lentils in it!!
