These days when someone (a person, a company, a standards body…) talks about a simple protocol to do something I get suspicious that what they actually mean is an overly-simplified protocol to do that thing where, if successful, it will be the backbone of that domain in 20 years and also a horrible mess full of hacks necessary to work around its initial oversimplifications.

@mlemweb @cwebber these are totally going in my repotoir of the kinds of recipies you can just kinda jam with. take some ingredients, toss together, out comes something pretty delicious and pretty nutritious.

@mlemweb @cwebber this post popped by my timeline 3 days ago and i’ve since tried it twice and enjoyed it both times. thank you both!

first time: rice+brown lentils+couple of cloves of lightly fried garlic. fried garlic+onions with some cumin. served with yoghurt + freshly chopped mint.

felt it could do with a little more flavour; basically everyone added hot sauce (but enjoyed it!)

second time (today): rice+red lentils+couple of cloves of lightly fried garlic+vegetable stock. fried garlic+onions with some spicy paprika, garram masala and cayene pepper. served with yoghurt again. also fried up some leftover schnitzel-substitute to top.

i loved this one. i think three cups of water was actually a little too little with this combo, probably because red lentils are denser. what came out of the rice cooker actually had a texture a bit like the mashed potato on top of a shepherds pie. it felt very different from our usual fare and very flavourfiul. will definitely cook again.
