basic bastard daily diet staples

Well, legumes. 😅

Some of my classics:

  • Cook noodles and red lentils in one pot. Strain the water. Add a can of tomatoes. Boom, pseudo-bolognese.
  • White beans are great in salads and such. You can get them pre-cooked in a jar. Just wash the glibber off, add a bit of salt, pop them into the microwave if you're feeling fancy, and then throw them on top of your salad.
  • If you can find TVP in the shops, that's also really versatile and hardly processed. Particularly bigger chunks of it are nice, because they're chewy and you can sear them like meat for that extra flavor.

    In the shops where I can get it, they have it in a separate aisle for vegan and gluten-free foods.

    Could also be nearby to tofu, so potentially in the Asian food section (even though TVP isn't an Asian invention).

    If your store has a Bob's Red Mill section, it might be there.

    I'm a big fan of TVP in spaghetti sauce, to give a bit of chewy texture. You can also use it to replace the meat in shepherd's pie, or anywhere else ground meat provides texture but is overwhelmed by other flavors.

    The shelf stable aspect is a huge selling point for my household.
