Re: Lentils
I don't honestly think there's any need for particular lentil recipes - they can be used as the protein element in any recipe you've got, the only issue is how long they need to be cooked. And the great thing is that unlike dried peas and beans, they don't need to be soaked overnight.
I just use them like mince - chop an onion, flavouring of choice (tomato puree/gravy/pesto/sweet and sour) with assorted veg and carbohydrate.

Re: Lentils
Green lentils (Puy) are nice just cooked in stock with onion and sausages and don't require soaking either. Not exactly a prep friendly recipe though! (But maybe one for using up old preps) 
That's a good point about the cook time, I did wonder if they were practical for a time with limited fuel. I've tried to find a list of cooking times for pulses with no joy, does anyone happen to know which pulses cook quickest? (Sorry to go slightly off topic)

Re: Lentils
Make a sauce with tomato puree and cornflour to thicken, with a sprinkle of curry powder, some garlic powder and paprika to create a spicy pizza flavor sauce that goes great over anything including lentils.

Always use a pressue cooker! cuts cooking time and therefore save fuel, a pressure cooker should be on every preppers must have list, Lentil soup in 20 minutes cheap cuts of meat cooked in under an hour. Get yourself a pressure cooker, I'm a fan.
