Hi,
I use lentils frequently...first rinse them. For me I usually do the 3 to 1 amount. Cook 1 cup of lentils in 3 cups of boiling water maybe 15 to 20 minutes. Color of lentil doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t use the whole amount you have...you’ll get tired of them.
You have the perfect combo with ground meat and canned tomatoes. Brown your beef, add any seasoning you like..add onions or garlic along with the browning if you like..add the tomatoes...when that tastes good to you you can add the cooked lentils.
A nice healthy mush...kind of like a stew. You can brown any vegetable to go along with the “stew”

If you want to cook the entire amount...just save some for other dishes. You can store cooked lentils for about a week or freeze them (I have never frozen any). You can add them to soup that you have cooked from scratch.....hmmmm. Or tossed in a salad.

Very versatile
