I am absolutely garbage at cooking nor do I have the desire to get better at cooking intricate dishes. But I still prefer making food at home as much as possible. So I was wondering what your favourite easy dishes are.
I don’t value taste too highly. But I prefer that have relatively moderate to low carb content. But don’t wanna be picky so anything goes. Please feel free to share.
curried lentils over rice - buy the yellow curry (not dark brown Indian stuff). If you soak the lentils a few hours first, you minimize your cooking time and a bit of labor. Almost all beans should be soaked at least 12 hours (24 hours is best), then prefereably cooked in a pressure cooker, and then frozen or left in frig 2 days. best advice for anyone wanting to eat more veg: Spent far more effort on finding the best tasting vegetables and varieties and which stores have the best. If the variety is the best (ex: pumpkin, a c. pepo, isn’t nearly as tasty as any c. moschata, one of which is butternut), you may not even need salt or seasonings. Second advice: try out as many sauces and seasonings as possible (mainly for dark leafy greens) so that eating healthy doesn’t feel like a chore. My faves are peanut satay sauce, faux oyster sauce (tends to be too salty), heavy CHinese-style soy sauce (must be bought at an Asian store), hoisin sauce, and the combo of fresh garlic, ginger, and either soy sauce or salt.
