I've got a big tub of lentils, been wondering what to do with them.
I have another recipe.
Potato and bean bake.
Two tins of chopped tomatoes
Two tins of kidney beans, drained.
Two onions chopped up
Some mixed herbs.
Few cloves of garlic crushed.
Big pan of mashed potato, add in some milk, butter and some salt and pepper till it's gloopy.
Fry the onion with the garlic in a little olive oil until it's soft.
Add in the tomatoes, kidney beans, some mixed herbs, salt and pepper and heat through.
Pour into a big casserole dish and then cover it over with the mashed potato.
Bake in the oven for 40 mins at about 180/190 deg C, just keep an eye on it.“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde0 -

Brilliant thanks
It's so much easier for people to find recipes there than it is to look through dozens of different threads for them, so I'm trying to encourage everyone to post their recipes into the collection when the urge comes to post oneand then all they have to do is say something like:-
I have posted my pasta and bean thingy wotsit for you HERE

Im in on this , this time, I have 2 freezers.went through one last night listing all in it , so i knew what i have to work with . and was appalled at how much i HAD to chuck out ( Tooooo far out of date ) darnt risk it , so that made me even more determined.
Started yesterday , and "So far " havent bought anything .
Yesterday i made a trifle . the jelly was a little out of date , but i thought that would be okay , put cake in the bottom , then jelly & custard , and topped it with squirty cream . everyone ate it , so it wasnt that bad,
Thanks everyone for all the tips and ideas,im reading EVERYTHIING :wave:
