Add a can or 2 of sauerkraut to your inflation stew, and you have a deconstructed vegetarian cabbage roll. If you want a beef flavor, cook the lentils separate with a couple beef bouillon cubes (they only cost a couple cents apiece).

Inflation Stew is right. With the cost of gasoline, at $4.19 of 9/10ths of a gallon, I was standing in my kitchen wondering how unreasonable it would be to sprout my lentils to increase their volume. So, I turned on my phone to look up a recipe in Everyday Foods in Wartime, 1918… and there’s this wonderful recipe, and, I have everything in my cupboard and refrigerator to make it. Thank you!

[@monicascullen4672]

Great recipe! A trick I learned from a grandma - whenever having a soup with rice or noodles always cook them separate and then each person can put an amount in their bowl (the hot broth will warm them through quickly). That way any leftovers can be stored Grain/pasta & soup in different containers to avoid that over-plumping issue.

[@barbarafowler6581]

Great idea.

[@asmodiusjones9563]

I was going to say the same thing. If you mix the rice when you cook it, it will become too mushy after being refrigerated. But you could store the rice and broth separately, and both would stay delicious for several days. A tip for reheating rice is to place it in a bowl with a little water and set a plate over it, and microwave it until the water boils. This will steam the rice again, and it is almost as good as when it was first cooked, even two or three days later.

[@KvltKommando]

@@asmodiusjones9563 how much water

[@asmodiusjones9563]

@@KvltKommando just like a tablespoon, depending on how much rice. Just to replace the water that’s evaporated as the rice has dried out since it was cooked. The important thing is to microwave it long enough for the water to steam; you’re not just re-heating it, you’re cooking it again.

[@orthohawk1026]

If you want to avoid the problem just use potatoes and carrots; 3 medium potatoes and 1 lb of carrots. About 3/4 the calorie count, just slightly less protein (13.8g vs 17g) and the same amount the fat of the rice. Or you can go all potatoes for about the same protein and fat

I've recently retired and with the price of food now I've had to make some changes in grocery buying. This recipe is definitely a keeper. We are still able to have steak and eat out some if I use these types of recipes during the week.

[@deadxbyxdawn306]

What makes me happiest is there’s no gluten products. My wife is extremely allergic and could be hospitalized. This recipe alone will keep us going much farther

[@lmelior]

Just returning to say that I made this last night and it was so delicious! Just a few minor changes: I used half the tomato paste (only had one 8 oz can), crushed tomatoes instead of stewed (it's what I had), added diced carrots, and I dropped the lentils in a bit earlier, because I didn't mix in the rice. I served it on top of rice instead. I cooked it until the lentils just got tender, then adjusted the seasoning a bit. I added some smoked paprika along with regular paprika, and ground some peppercorn medley (which has a bit more piperine than just black peppercorns). As mentioned at the end I did add the hot sauce and worcestershire sauce directly to the pot. Oh, I also added a splash of my wife's red wine earlier on for fun. My head of cabbage didn't pile up nearly as much as yours, I wonder if I cut mine smaller or if it just was smaller. Anyway, that vinegar-y acidity from the tomatoes and the hot sauce with the cabbage...man, such a great combo. And toasting the tomato paste is an absolute game changer...it deepens the rich, sweet and savory flavor like sun-dried tomatoes. I'm definitely going to use that trick in other dishes! Anyway, the six of us only managed to eat about a third of it, and we only ate that much because I got a late start on cooking and we were extra hungry. My wife claimed she didn't like cabbage rolls based on some bad experience like 25 years ago and said she was scared, but she ended up going back for seconds (though she was too full to finish her second helping). You weren't kidding about being filling! BIG thumbs up on this one!

[@sheldonshniklefritz95]

I would use red curry paste with some tomato paste for a more robust flavor. You can get it at your nearest asian market for about1/3 the price in regular store

[@dasneonlicht]

I would recommend cooking the lentils separately, early, and in the stock or plain water and adding them later. Acidic ingredients like tomatoes can react with the skins of dried legumes and cause them to come out a bit firmer than some people may like. Not a showstopper the way you did it, but one of those little things that can improve the texture for some folks

I think I would love your barley variation, but a few quick questions for you: I assume you added dry barley kernels, so, how much barley did you add? And, how long did you let them cook? Not sure, but I think barley takes longer to cook than lentils.

[@CamGoldenGun]

@@wasserdagger yep. It takes longer but it's pretty much a stew so just let it sit on low for an hour or if you're doing it in the pressure cooker, just consider it like rice. A cup of pot barley

I live in the UK and make something similar in a slow cooker. I use potatoes instead of rice, and red lentils. I make a meditterranean version fresh rosemary and oregano and a few bay leaves. when cooked, I used a hand blender to smooth it down. Put in a bowl with a swirl of olive oil and a sprinkling of grated parmesan. My slow cooker made enough for 6 lunches, my husband and I ate it for 3 days running. Lovely with crusty bread. You could even add cooked pasta twirls as it has an Italian taste.Perfectly balanced, carbs, lentils for protein and loads of veggies and herbs. Cost? 30p a serving? Definately a winner in my home.

My grandfather used to make a stew/soup very similar to this that I grew up on. In place of the lentils he used navy (white) beans and a little bit of hot peppers where you used the hot sauce. At times he would use Ditalini (small pasta tubes) also as it was inexpensive and filling. This was a great healthy substitute to many processed foods so many are eating. Also, it can be split into individual portions and frozen. Thank you for a great recipe for all of us on a budget in these trying times. Keep up the great work.

turns out the best cooks know how to cook period - the best meals are ones made with technique rather than ingredients (though people like Thomas Keller are a league in their own).

Get some containers (can be anything really including stuff you find on the side of the road or get from friends) and try growing some greens. Doesn’t have to be really big those extra large plastic creamer containers or 2 liter soda bottles will work for a single plant. Obviously something larger like 3-5 gal buckets or cut up food grade plastic or metal drums are better but those don’t fit on an apartment patio. If you don’t have the strength or space for calorie intense crops like potatoes go for nutrient dense greens. You can cut things like kale, Swiss chard or loose leaf lettuces multiple times for a prolonged harvest. Leave at least a third to keep the plant alive. With things the way they are good luck finding cheap potting mix or a substitute but you can use it for years with a bit of extra fertilizer and fresh compost if you can get it.

Couple of tips. If you're using all store bought items, dont use preminced garlic, use pealed garlic and mince it yourself. Also, don't use beef brother, get the cheaper chicken or vegetable broth. Prepared beef brother barely has any actual beef in it and you'll get much better flavor from either of the other options. If you're making your own beef broth, definitely use it!
