I’m in a super lazy phase when it comes to cooking these days so I’m looking into easy and no-fuss recipes that can be whipped up quickly. Dishes which I can make in big batches and reheat later as needed are currently my BFFs. I don’t know if it’s the weather, very busy period at work, or just life, but man, I am so ready for a vacation (which isn’t happening for another month D:). Anyhow, here’s a super easy and tasty recipe for you guys, so enjoy.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 0.88 EUR per serving / 3.53 EUR for all)

2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

1 large onion, diced (0.10 EUR)

1 can of tomatoes (0.80 EUR)

4 garlic cloves, minced (0.13 EUR)

500 grams frozen yellow beans (1.00 EUR)

1 cup red lentils (1.00 EUR)

1 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.07 EUR)

1 tbsp Gochujang – Korean chili paste (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

2 cups water (–)

Small bunch of fresh parsley, chopped (0.20 EUR)

METHOD:

Saute onion on olive oil until slightly translucent. Add in canned tomatoes and garlic, then smash down the tomatoes into smaller chunks with your spatula. This is also very therapeutic if you had to deal with annoying people at work for half a day. Allow to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, then dump in yellow beans, lentils, paprika, Gochujang, salt and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook with a lid cracked open for about 20 minutes, while stirring occasionally. If needed, add a splash more of water. Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley and serve warm.

Ovih sam dana u nekoj jako lijenoj fazi kada je u pitanju kuhanje, pa tražim lagane recepte bez puno komplikacija, koji se brzo mogu smutiti. Jela koja mogu napraviti u velikim porcijama i kasnije podgrijati po potrebi su mi trenutno najbolji frendovi. Nemam pojma da li je to zbog vremena, užasno ubzranog tempa na poslu, ili jednostavno života, ali ljudi moji, spremna sam za godišnji (koji se neće desiti još mjesec dana, grrr D:). Uglavnom, evo vam jedan jako jednostavan i ukusan recept, pa uživajte.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 6,61 kn po porciji / 26,42 kn za sve)

2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

1 veliki luk, narezan na kockice (0,75 kn)

1 konzerva pelata (6,00 kn)

4 češnja češnjaka, sitno nasjeckana (1,00 kn)

500 grama smrznutih žutih mahuna (7,50 kn)

1 šalica crvene leće (7,50 kn)

1 žlica slatke crvene paprike (0,50 kn)

1 žlica Gochujanga – korejske chili paste (1,00 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

2 šalice vode (–)

Mali pregršt peršina, sitno nasjeckanog (1,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Prodinstajte luk na maslinovom ulju dok ne bude staklast. Dodajte pelate i češnjak, pa pelate špatulom izgnječite u manje komade. Ovo je jako terapeutski ako ste se cijeloga dana na poslu bavili sa napornim ljudima. Pustite da se krčka 5-10 minuta, pa ubacite unutra mahune, leću, papriku, Gochujang, sol i vodu. Pustite da zavrije, smanjite vatru i krčkajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem oko 20 minuta, uz povremeno miješanje. Po potrebi dodajte još mrvicu vode. Maknite sa vatre, umiješajte nasjeckani peršin i poslužite toplo.
