What is the psyllium husk for? Not sure if I want or need metamucil in my dinner.

I use psyllium husk as a binder to give structure and texture to the lentil loaf. The grated potato, zucchini and bread crumbs in the recipe also help bind all the ingredient together, the psyllium just takes it to another level of firmness. I have made it many times without psyllium and it worked out fine. Hope this answers your question.

No Print Recipe button is unacceptable in 2023. This looks like a delicious recipe, though. Guess I will have to write it down if I want to keep it.
