Pearl Barley, Adzuki Beans, Split peas...what can I do with them??!!

[daisycat01]

In the last week before pay day, so am trying to clear the cupboard. I have found packets of chick peas, green lentils, red lentils, Adzuki beans and Pearl barley. What can I cook with these?? Cant seem to find anything decent online??

TIA

Soup? Humuus? Daal?

Soak them overnight
Then make a soup or stew

I just dice carrots, celery and onions, fry until soft

Then add stock, beans and other bits (bacon is good). Chuck in a bayleaf, some oregano, some basil, season and add a bit of tabasco. Lob in a tin of tomatoes then simmer til reduced to required consistency

google Red Dragon Pie for the aduki beans
good calls with those three, scooter

Oh great, thanks!! Will do the casserole as I have all those ingredients!! I am sure DH will be grumpy though!! He hates that kind of cooking!! HA HA!!

I make a sort of very thick soup and have with nice crusty bread

What do you put in the soup??

TIA
