What is something that you always find yourself making, /ck/?
>Strain a can of mixed beans
>Dice two large tomatoes, or four small ones
>Dice two small cucumbers, or one long one
>Dice two small onions, a medium sized onion, or part of a large onion
>Finely cut up a generous amount of parsley
>Throw all of the above into a wide bowl
>Add two to three caps of balsamic vinegar, two generous pinches of dried oregano, and a drizzle of oil
>Salt to taste, toss, and enjoy
This makes a surprising amount of flavourful salad for such a deceptively small input of ingredients. It's also pretty quick, and relatively cheap depending on what green grocers are like where you live.
>Rinse n-cups of brown rice
>Formulate 2n-cups of chicken or vegetable stock
>Place in rice cooker
>Add n-tsps of olive oil and minced garlic, and stir through
>Cook
>Once rice is done, transfer to another bowl
>Add another tsp of olive oil to loosen it up
>Add salt, pepper, and dried oregano to taste
>Optionally, fry some eggs (scrambled or not) and toss it through the rice
Again, it's a blinking obvious "recipe", but you can't really go wrong for the cost.
