Hello hello! So I'm trying to broaden my culinary horizon right now, things have gotten a bit stale since I have a mild case of ARFID and tend to fall back on safe foods (protein bars, fruit pureΓ©s, burritos) when I don't keep an eye on my diet. Ideally I'm looking for something that's healthy and reqires little prep. And it should be obtainable in Germany. But if the title speaks to you in any other way I'm interested to hear your thoughts anyway.

Various spices and dried herbs? Get a whole bunch of different ones, perhaps even some premixed from India (though unnecessary, but may be available even in places like Lidl every now and then IIRC)

I always fall back on chicken breast, what most people seem to find bland and dry. Well, you can mix up some spices together, figure out some combinations you like and put them on your protein/vegetable of choice (will work well with olive oil too as another person mentioned). Want it done quick? Chop it up into smaller pieces and throw in a frying pan. Don't want it oily? Swap it out for butter (just use lower heat) although I prefer sunflower oil.

You'll probably have few that you eventually always use in combination with others. E.g. my favorite to use are sweet paprika, coriander and turmeric. Turmeric seems kinda crap on its own, but works well with other spices. Coriander doesn't need much added, if anything and smells good imo and paprika just goes well on lots of various stuff (note that smoked or plain paprika is also very different from sweet kind though)

Lidl

Curry (powder) is tricky because it can contain so many different things. The cheapest (and Lidl is always the cheapest, despite colorful packaging) usually sucks.

cottage-cheese pizza flats: Ingredients: 400 g cottage cheese, 3 eggs, 1 tsp baking powder, salt-pepper-oregano to taste, 150 g wheat flour, 120 g ham, 60 g grated cheese, plus any extra filling you like.

Scoop one tablespoon each flat on a bakingsheet

Bake 15–25 minutes at 200 Β°C with top-and-bottom heat on the middle rack.

Since you’re in germany the β€œlets do pizza” spice is pretty good for this.

This sounds insane, but I'm absolutely fascinated by it. I just ran out of cottage cheese yesterday, but I'm going to try making these later this week!

[–] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

[–] plantmoretrees@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Fucking trust me on this - roasted radishes.

Try it and thank me later.

Lately I have been a huge fan of Zartweizen, you can just use them in nearly any way you would use noodles or even sometimes rice. Also great in salads or soups.

Charcuterie plates

Cold cuts, cheeses, fresh/dried fruit, vegetables/pickled vegetables, bread/crackers, etc.

Make whatever plate combination you're in the mood for from a variety selection, i like to stock about 3 options from each category to feel like I have choices

I've really been enjoying chia seeds recently. They are great in smoothies. Spinach too, it's essentially undetectable so you can just add a handful of either. Works great in any type of smoothie, and feels like "dessert" even when it's just fruits and veggies and seeds. Plus, you can freeze (or buy) frozen produce, or freeze what you can't eat, so it keeps for ages.

Unflavored yogurt tends to work best, imo.

Do r our food in your bed. It will be gross, and be very uncomfortable for sleeping.

[–] Tracaine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Is this some kind of new trend? Why would you sleep on food? Wouldn't it be a lot of trouble to clean out of the mattress? Is this a sex thing? It usually is and I'm in the wrong place when I'm this confused.

Edible insects! They yummy!!! πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹

And there are many established culinary practices for cooking them from vastly different cultures, so there's also a good variety of recipes you can find and try out!
