4-6 main servings, 8 or more side servings. Reserve the water
from the cans of beans and from the lentils. I am not sure
whether to add the cooked lentils before the 30 min simmer or to warm
at the end. If the former, then cook the lentils in advance.
(Note: probably better at the end, and lentils don't need as long a cooking
time as sometimes listed.)
