So you have to guess what is simple to cook for lunch, but to make it tasty. So this is the main meal of the day. Our body has already completely woken up, worked and got hungry.
So you need something nutritious. What can I cook for lunch without really bothering?
First and second course recipes
Surely every mistress in stock has a couple of canned fish. Sardine, mackerel, saury in oil or in their own juice are suitable. We quickly put a saucepan with 1.2 liters of water on the fire. Throw 2-3 chopped potatoes, one peeled onion (whole), one finely chopped carrot, 1/3 cup of washed rice, one bay leaf and a few peas of black pepper.
We give the soup a boil until the potatoes are respected, and there we send the contents of one can of our canned fish. After it we add greens. Traditionally, this is dill and parsley, chopped green onions can also be added. Boil another 5-6 minutes. Salt to taste. We try. The whole cooking process will take you no more than 30 minutes. So, our “quick ear” is ready.
We have already done the first, now let's take the second. What to cook for lunch, we decide, based on stocks and season of the year. If it is summer or autumn, you can cut a salad of cucumbers with tomatoes, if winter - use sauerkraut or pickled cucumbers. Often in our refrigerator there is 1-1.5 kg of packaged frozen minced meat. Suppose we do not have time to defrost it. No problem! We put a 5-liter pan on the fire, while pouring about 4 liters of water. We will cook pasta or spaghetti. There really is something that anyone likes.
While the water is boiling, we are preparing a dressing. We cut one medium onion in half rings and fry until golden in vegetable oil. Take 400 grams of frozen minced meat and add to the pan. We begin to stir, turning the frozen slice of minced meat all the time. So, gradually, he completely thaws. When the forcemeat in our skillet is completely thawed, hold it for another 4-5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Here is our pasta dressing ready. If desired, you can add here tomato sauce or ketchup.
Boil pasta, as indicated on the packaging, decant, rinse slightly and season with cooked minced meat. Cooking time is about 30 minutes. Fast, tasty and nutritious. So if you simultaneously put two pots on the fire at once - for soup and for pasta, then after a maximum of 40 minutes you will have lunch with two dishes plus a salad.
Dessert
“Well, what about dessert?” You ask. “We probably won’t have time to cook it.” Let's think about what to cook so sweet for dinner. Well, you probably have a loaf of bread or white bread. Milk and sugar, I think, will be found too. Beat one egg with a tablespoon of sugar (with a slide), add a pinch of vanilla and ¾ cup of milk. We heat the frying pan, throw a piece of butter there (you can also refined vegetable). Dip slices of loaf or white bread in milk with egg well and fry on both sides until a light golden crust appears. Serve with tea. Now, if someone asks you what to cook for dinner quickly from the most common products, you will already know the answer.
