I mean, I don't think you have to rush eating red lentils. They should stay good for a long time.
But I routinely throw red lentils into tomato sauce as a pseudo-bolognese. Lentil curry works quite well. And I've found that cooking lentils for a longer time in salt water will make them taste a bit like egg, which could probably be fun in a salad.
In my home region (Southern Germany), we also make a dish with lentils + noodles + roux. Typically, we'd use brown lentils and specific noodles, which are more doughy than the typical Italian pasta, but it'll probably still taste half-decent, just because of the roux.
You mean that?
Red lentil curry over spätzle (the only German noodles I know of) sounds like it would be amazing or at least worth trying.
I was actually talking about spätzle in that last paragraph. 😅
The dish is called "Linsen mit Spätzle" (which literally means "lentils with spätzle").
And yeah, I should probably give curry with spätzle a try, too. That does sound like it could work quite well.
