Do any of you have good lentil recipes?  Right now, in the Palouse they are having the lentil festival, and I may purchase a booklet that has recipes. I have heard that lentils are an excellent protein and low in cost. Thought as Fall & winter are on their way, I would get some more recipes to have on hand.
Thanks for those to whom may contribute. Maybe we can all benefit from recipes submitted.

Bev, thank you very much. I like the taste and I can remember my Mom fixing them in the early 50's, but I just don't want to fix them one way. Thanks again!

We use lentils in place of ground beef in recipes. You throw one or two beef bullion cubes in the water to boil them, then drain and use them in hamburger helpers, or whatever. My family has eaten a lot of them and didn't even know it most times!

Angela, do you measure amount for amount of cooked lentils as to hamburger? Since I don't know how much to cook, do you think I could even start mixing some cooked in with the hamburger until I am sure of it?
