    Sorry if I am stating the obvious butI'd stick it all in a pan with garlic, herbs etc and have a bean casserole!!
    very easy and basic, I'm sure someone will come up with something a bit more exciting.

    2 tins of green lentils
    1 tin kidney bean
    2 tins of chopped tomatoes
    *basic lentil curry: lentils, curry powder, onion boil down to mush! also nice with a bit of spinach
    *kidney bean and tomatoes plus chilli powder for... chilli! with wedges, pasta or rice
    *use lentils as a filler with any bits of veg/quorn/tvp for pasties, or top with mash
    *lentil dip: lentils, onion, olive oil, cumin and garlic, cook and blitz
    *1 tin lentil, 1 tin toms, worcester (sp?) sauce in a pan, add quorn sausage/similar for a surprisingly filling hotpot.
    *boil up lentils and toms, or toms and kidney beans, add stock to thin into soups
    *treat lentils as vege mince if that helps- lasagnes, shepherds pies etc
