Use them instead of beans in your favorite baked bean recipe.

Season them with taco seasoning and serve as a side with tacos or burritos.

Anything you normally do with beans you can do with lentils.

@WestRiverrat: that sounds great! thanks!

I just sauteed some mixed veggies in toasted sesame oil and added a little curry powder and cumin. Heated the lentils in the microwave and added them to the veggies… a little soy sauce, a little hot sauce… and viola! not bad :)

Sautee them with some ckicken or ground beef and create some tacos. Easy and delicious.

make “meatballs” or breakfast “sausage” patties

(even if you’re not vegan/vegetarian, the sausage patty recipe is AWESOME!)
