Pick over the lentils, then combine in a saucepan with the millet, rice, and water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until cooked, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil two 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch loaf pans. Add the remaining loaf ingredients and mix well. Transfer mixture to loaf pans and bake for 1 hour, or until lightly brown and the top is dry to the touch. Make gravy. Place ingredient in a blender and liquify. In a medium saute pan over medium heat, heat the gravy, stirring constantly, until thick. Add more water if the gravy becomes too thick. Keep warm.
