Even in self-isolation or for anyone practicing social distancing not feeling like heading to the grocery store, you’re never exactly totally isolated or stuck with nothing but that bag of rice you bought ages ago. But if you don’t feel like going out, don’t have time for a brick-and-mortar grocery store or online store to deliver ingredients or food you want, it’s great to be able to throw together a meal from what you have on hand.
I’ve got ideas for you. Ten years of recipe ideas, in fact. That’s how long I’ve been writing recipes on my blog, which I learned when I went back and searched the archives for my top pantry recipes.
I’m planning a pay-what-you-want (free if that’s what you want!) e-book of Quarantine Cooking recipes. And here’s a teaser: It’s the top-searched recipe on my blog and is nothing but lentils and spices. And it’s delicious. I can’t take credit for this recipe, though. It’s adapted from Madhur Jaffrey. The ones in the e-book will be from me.
So enjoy this recipe (it’s at the bottom!) and if you have a second, leave a comment on which of the following recipes you’d like to see in the e-book, or feel free to make any other suggestions!
