Lentils are so good.
And my new freezer cube meal prep is paying off. I had some extra tomatoey marsala gravy from a previous curry and so I froze it and some leftover coconut cream from previous meal.
WFH day today so lunch was cube of marsala gravy, small portion of the coconut cream, portion of onion-celery-carrot mix, portion of frozen spinach. All dumped in the instant pot with lentils, a stock cube and water. Served over defrosted rice portions.
So so yum and so easy. Thanks past me!
Everything sounds grand except the rice. I've always found frozen rice to have a weird unpleasant texture. Have you a trick?
Not really. Brown rice slightly undercooked, then drown it in yummy lentils so I don't notice the texture ๐๐
Ah, brown might be the thing
