    I cook beans and rice regardless of how its going. Nothing can beat that. And you can add anything you want, which makes beans really flexible.

      I can cook rice OK, but it’s never really enjoyable to eat. Always too bland. Never tried cooking with dried beans and lentils so I’ll have to explore that. Cheers.

        Look up recipes for seasoned rice, obviously it ups the cost a bit.

        Fry the dry rice in some type of oil until golden brown (stir regularly to prevent burning) then add some chicken stock or a bouillon cub to the water along with herbs and spices you like while the rice boils. I usually go with onion/garlic powder and some dried rosemary but fresh works good too.
