1. Indian dal on the cheap and easy. Boil red or orange or yellow (brown rather earthy for my taste) in 3X water until soft.
Cook about 1.5X long grain rice with a bit of cardamom seed. In small skillet or saucepan heat as much oil as you like to "wet" the lentil and rice mixture, and with some and or all of: garlic, coriander, cumin, red pepper, bay leaf, ginger, asafoetida, ... sizzle for 30 seconds or so and pour over lentils and rice. Salt to taste. Augment with full fat yogurt, Indian mango pickle, British sweet chutney. Or, augment with raita in place of plain fat yogurt: 1 lg cucumber peeled and grated, 2 c full fat yogurt, big handfull of chopped fresh mint, tsp ground cumin: mix all and enjoy. I often add the oil and spices to the cooking lentils with chopped onion sautted and diced spinach (I use frozen because I don't like to clean and prep vegetables; and the nutrition is at least as good) for a sort of lentil stew. 2. New Mexico pinto beans. 2 c dried pinto beans -- soak over night and cook in pressure cooker for ~1 hour including cooldown or for 24 hours at least in crockpot on low. 1 large chopped onion sauteed with garlic, cumin, oregano, red pepper, add beans and can of chopped or crushed tomatoes and chopped spinach or Kale. Salt to taste. Eat with flour tortillas or rice or add potatoes: dice and nuke ~2 med potatoes until done, add to above. 3. Cheese spaghetti: An adult's mac + cheese. Cook 8 oz dry spaghetti, save water, met combo of butter and olive oil in skillet, sautee garlic (I get quart chopped garlic at Costco), add cooked spaghetti and ~1 c pasta water, bring to boil, add 1/2 c parmesan or romano and 1/2 non-parmesan/romano -- I use Costco 5 lb shredded Mexican mix but anything will do. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Recipe also calls for 2 tbsp cream cheese and 2/3 c heavy cream but that's disgusting; add a bit more cheese instead. 4. Grilled salmon: farmed or fresh fillets. Dribble with plenty of lemon juice and layer with fresh dill, salt, pepper; wrap in tinfoil; grill. Then there are tatie scones and champ and the garlic spaghetti (sautee lots of garlic in olive oil, spread over cooked spaghetti, add salt, red pepper, black pepper to taste; better have some veg on the side) that my daughter used to love on Wed and Fri fast day evenings -- but you can dress it up with Parmesan or Romano for other days, home-made baked fries (daughter got scrambled eggs and home made *deep fried* fries for school day breakfasts), home made mac and cheese (damn Annie's!), lazy man's pseudo Thai curry on rice, Julia Child's very easy french bread (tho' v long waits for rising), etc etc etc. Patrick Moore, who will probably make pseudo baked fries* and eat with green peas (frozen, nuked, olive oil and salt and pepper) this evening -- Wed, fast day, in ABQ, NM. *Almost as good as deep fried, a lot cleaner, and a hellofalot better than frozen fries. Slice potatoes into fingers and roll around in olive oil. Rinse well and pat dry. Nuke until tender. Line baking sheet with tinfoil. Liberally add more olive oil. Grill pretty high and close, watch so don't burn, turn when top brown. I've used red, white, and Idaho potatoes; all good. Patrick "and cook oat groats in a crockpot" Moore (who twice held the office of Chief Cook 40 years ago while living with bunch of guys, and in one case was voted out of office, but who learned that if you take a whole frozen but gutted and cleaned chicken, rip off the cling wrapt and foam packaging, place in cold oven, turn to 350*, and leave for 3 hours, you end up with moist, tender, and very bland meat).
