Are these easy to cook with?
Is it cheaper than meat meals? Anyone got any fave recipes? ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I usually add a whole lot of lentils to my venison casserole, and any other thing that has a 'sauce' to it. They are very cheap to buy and have almost all the protein you need. -------------

Lentils are really cheap! And very filling! My favourite lentil recipe is this:
http://www.healthyfood.co.nz/recipes/2009/april/carrot-and-red-lentil-dhal - Carrot and red lentil dhal I use cumin powder instead of seeds, and I don't use quite so much stock (just cover it). Oh, and I use tinned lentils sometimes because they cook quicker. It's soooo yum.

I often throw a cup of lentils into a curry, especially if I am a bit short on meat Aethalia said, they go well with thing with a sauce. I usually check half way through cooking to check it is not drying out as they can suck up a bit of liquid.-------------

This is my mum's recipe, and it's great.
1 cup red lentils/split peas 2 1/2 cups water 1 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp cayenne 1 tsp salt Bring all to the boil, reduce heat and simmer until consistency of thick gravy. While that is happening, saute in frying pan: 3 tbls butter 1 large onion 1 tsp whole cumin seeds 10 whole cloves 5 whole black peppercorns Fry slowly until onion well browned, and stir into lentil mix. It's very nice (I think) and usually surprises people who think they don't like dahl. Be careful of the whole spices after (they're not to be eaten)  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
