My go to for when I need to cook something but don’t want to cook anything. Fry up a diced onion in a pot till it starts to brown. Toss in a cup of lentils and add 3.5 cups of water. Season with a decent amount of salt, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 20. Then stir in 1/3 cup of rice, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked, the lentils are very tender and the whole thing has a porridge consistency, another 20-25 (but start looking out for doneness after 15). The lentils might stick at the bottom toward the end but that’s fine; let it sit for a few minutes when it’s done cooking then scrape and stir in the lentils at the bottom. adjust salt, season with pepper and if you want, cumin, and stir in about 1/4 cup of good olive oil. There’s dinner. She’s done in an hour and most of it is hands off. Deceptively tasty and satisfying for how simple it is.

Lentils FTW

I’m not sure if you will like it but my mum used to make this for me during winter and it has a special place in my heart. Hope you give it a go (if you do let me know how you found it) Sauté half a white or red onion in a pan. Chop 1–2 cloves of garlic and add them in. Add any extra seasoning you like (I love throwing in some red chilies at this stage and cooking them off). Stir in 100g of red lentils. Pour in vegetable stock (a must, or it’ll taste pretty bland!). Simmer until the lentils are fully cooked. It should have a soup-like consistency. Add salt to taste Serve with your favourite sourdough bread. 🥖✨
