ONE PAN BREAKFAST RECIPES

Steps:

• Rinse the lentils until the water runs clear, then drain. Heat the oil in a large, shallow pan and cook the onions over a low heat for 10 mins until starting to brown, adding more oil if the pan looks dry. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds. Scatter in the curry leaves, if using, and all the spices and cook for a few minutes more, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for a minute longer.
• Stir in the lentils, ensuring they’re well coated in the spices, then pour over the coconut milk and 850ml water. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, then simmer for about 30 mins until the lentils are soft and soupy. Scoop out the whole chilli and discard, then season generously with salt. The dhal can now be left to cool, then frozen in portions, or as one batch in a large plastic container. Defrost completely before reheating in a pan over a low heat, adding more water to loosen if needed.
• Serve with a sprinkling of the coriander, sliced ginger and chilli, and drizzle with a bit more oil.

Steps:

• In a large 12" skillet over medium heat, sauté onions and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 1 minute until fragrant. Add bell pepper and jalapeno and cook for another minute. Add ground meat to skillet and cook until brown, about 4-5 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Drain any excess fat.
• Push everything to one side of the pan. Add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté uncooked rice for about 1 minute or just until some grains start to turn golden brown.
• Stir in black beans, corn, peas, canned tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, paprika, chili powder and cayenne pepper.
• Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to low.
• Cook about 17-19 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring gently every few minutes so the rice doesn't stick. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
• Sprinkle with cheese and cover with the lid and remove from heat.
• Allow cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes then serve hot with desired toppings.
