    Dahl. I usually use red lentils because they cook pretty quick without soaking. Boil with 2:1 water:lentils. In another pan, fry up garlic, onion and whatever spices you want. I usually use some combination of: fenugreek, mustard seed, fennel, cumin, coriander, turmeric, sweet paprika and curry powder. When the lentils are cooked, add the spice mix in, salt to taste and you’re done.

    If you have an oven, you can make a big lasagna, cut it into pieces and deep freeze.

      I love doing this. Lately I’ve been roasting a head of cauli with some olive oil and nutmeg and blending it with some soy milk and more oil for the bechamel, I make a lot of lasagna and I think that’s one of the best vegan bechamels.

      Second this. I’ve found that a “power soak” works pretty well and makes it feel a little less arduous.

      Just bring the dried peas to a boil for a minute and then heat off and soak for an hour (instead of overnight or whatever). I time this so I can walk the dogs while they soak. Then pressure cook – I try to do this on a night when we have leftovers so I’ll just reheat those and eat while they’re cooking – and then blend everything up and I’ve got enough fresh hummus for a week.

      Takes about two hours, but fits into my nightly routine very easily at it’s really only 10-15 minutes of active time cooking.

      I haven’t found a ton of uses for oats. Got any recommendations?

        My daily breakfast is 10g quick oats, 3 tbsp hemp hearts, 1 tbsp chia seed, 1 tbsp flax and a bunch of frozen berries. I cover with boiling water and let it sit until it cools. That cooks the oats. I put prepare it in a mason jar and take to work.
