Everyone’s got a recipe that takes very little effort so I thought I’d create a space to share them. Perhaps it’s your recipe or from a website. It doesn’t matter. Cheers.

    Chicken and Red Lentil Yellow curry. Meal Prep. About a dozen serves.

    1kg red lentils, soaked 2-24hr then rinsed. Whisk lightly while rinsing. 1 whole chicken. Boil 1hr. Separate into meat, bones and broth. Bake bones 40 mins then reboil in broth, re-strain broth, discard bones. 5+ litre pot required. Mines 6.7L. In the big pot, four diced onions, 50g cooking oil, 150g MaePloy Yellow Curry Paste, 5g salt/citric acid/msg, stock. Simmer for about ten minutes. Then add drained lentils, chicken meat and enough water to cook it all. Not too much, you don’t want the tasty oil to rise to the top and overflow. Simmer until the lentils are cooked to your taste, I cook them into a mud in a little over an hour.

    It’s a big days cook, but if you plan it out, it’s a bunch of 5-10 minute jobs throughout the day.

    Usually comes in at under $2 a meal. Leave the chicken out if you want vegan (yellow curry paste is the only one without shrimp). Add any leftover veggies in or bags of frozen veg.
