I've started cooking some red lentils in some beef stock, adding them and some breakcrumbs to mince meat to pad the meat out a bit (and hide some extra veg in the meat). With meatballs you cant even tell the difference. What are some of your hacks/tips/tricks?

I don't really have a set method. Just add some water, come back a few hours later and see how it's going. If it needs more and adding more won't weaken the broth too much, I'll add more. It's a long and slow process at a low heat, so there is room for error and plenty of opportunity to find a solution.
