    Today, I brought my own food to work: rice with red lentils, peas, unsweetened peanut butter and some black caraway seeds (+ normal caraway, vegetable broth, a little vinegar)

    And yeah, as I’m telling people this, I realize that they probably want to hear a recipe name, like “risotto” or “rice curry”, but I have no idea what it is. I started cooking with rice and red lentils, kind of like a curry, but then the rest just happened spontaneously.

    It always feels like I’ve discovered this great secret that you can just combine edible things and it generally leads to something edible.

        You mean, you decided to prove the point of the parent comment… 🙃

        It probably is hard to imagine from a list of ingredients, for example the vegetable broth was for boiling the rice+lentils, it wasn’t soggy rice, and I only added the vinegar, because I accidentally made it too salty, so you weren’t supposed to taste it much.

        But yeah, aside from that, the taste wasn’t too extravagant. Maybe replace the black caraway, if you’re not me, but then it actually tasted quite a lot like egg after leaving it in the fridge over night.
