This dish has become my weeknight staple, as it’s incredibly quick and zero fuss. I usually whip up a humongous batch and then have lunch situations at work settled during the next few days. On top of this, the ingredient list is super short and it’s basically stuff that I always have lying around.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 0.45 EUR per serving / 1.78 EUR for all)

1 large onion, diced (0.10 EUR)

2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

3 garlic cloves, minced(0.09 EUR)

1 can diced tomatoes (0.53 EUR)

1 cup dry soya flakes (0.53 EUR)

1 cup water (–)

1 tbsp dried basil (0.27 EUR)

2 tbps dried parsley (0.13 EUR)

½ tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper (0.03 EUR)

METHOD:

Saute onion on olive oil on high heat for a few minutes, until slightly translucent. Add in minced garlic and stir for a few seconds. Add in tomatoes, soya flakes, water, basil, parsley, salt and pepper, give everything a good stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook with cracked lid for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add a splash more of water.

Serve over freshly cooked pasta and with a huge green salad.

Ovo je jelo postalo moj prehrambeni temelj preko tjedna, pošto je turbo brzo gotovo i nema nikakvog prtljanja. Obično skuham ogromnu količinu pa si s time riješim ručkove na poslu za idućih par dana. Osim toga, popis sastojaka je jako kratak i to su sve stvari koje ionako uvijek imam doma.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 3,33 kn po porciji / 13,32 kn za sve)

1 veliki luk, sitno nasjeckan (0,75 kn)

2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka, sitno nasjeckana (0,70 kn)

1 konzerva nasjeckanih rajčica (4,00 kn)

1 šalica sojinih ljuskica (4,00 kn)

1 šalica vode (–)

1 žlica sušenog bosiljka (2,00 kn)

2 žlice sušenog peršina (1,00 kn)

½ žličice soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,20 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Na jakoj vatri dinstajte luk na ulju nekoliko minuta, dok ne postane staklast. Dodajte nasjeckani češnjak i promiješajte par sekundi. Dodajte rajčicu, soju, vodu, bosiljak, peršin, sol i papar, dobro sve promiješajte i pričekajte da zavrije. Onda smanjite vatru i kuhajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem 15-20 minuta uz povremeno miješanje. Po potrebi možete dodati još malo vode.

Poslužite uz svježe kuhanu tjesteninu i sa velikom zelenom salatom.
