Any recipes for using dried beans and lentils?

PS We quite often have dal in place of potato.

I do endless variations of dal by chucking in all sorts of veg leftovers from the freezer, and including meat gravy if there is any and small amounts of mince, etc.

I find Pinterest quite good for new recipes of all sorts. BBC GoodFood is a goud source too.

I've decided to significantly reduce my meat consumption and use lots of lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas etc and cooking them from scratch in my pressure cooker. So far I've made bean burgers, Turkish kibbeh, Indian dal, humous, red pepper and lentil soup. Does anyone have any recipes? I'm getting a bit bored with the above.
