heh and since you’ve been sharing some of your recipes, I’d like to share one of my latest inventions. Depending on ingredients it can turn into gulash or masala-kind-of dish ;)
Main ingredients are lentils and pearl barley (I add slightly less barley than lentils because it inflates, but I love the crunch it gives to dish). Don’t use red lentils though, only brown or green.
If I’m motivated I stir fry some garlic and oignons beforehand and maybe some veggies if I’m going for gulash (peppers, zucchini, aubergine, fennel…) and spices (for gulash smoky paprika is must and then optionally I add caraway, allspice berry, majoram, laurier, for masala like I add curry spices like curcuma, cumin, fennel, coriander, kardamom etc). Add chilli for both 🌶️
If I’m not motivated I add everything with the lentils and pearl barley.
Then I add water (for gulash) or oat milk (for masala) and cook without stirring and adding liquid every 10 min if needed until is done 😊
