Growing up I enjoyed a book called “Six Ingredients or Less” which - you guessed it - featured recipes that used only six ingredients or less. Do you have a killer recipe or two that fits this theme?

Spices (dried or fresh) don’t count. Bonus points if it is at least somewhat healthy.

    I’ve been experimenting with vegetarian options, and my go-to pantry-buster for stuff I generally always have on hand is this: sautee a chopped onion in a good helping of oil/butter. add a bit of flour (a tablespoon or so, but add it slowly while stirring) until you’ve got a nice roux-like consistency. Add a jar of curry paste, and a can of petite dice tomatos (with the juice) and a can of garbonzo beans (i drain mine). Add dried lentils and 70-80% the amount of water it suggests on the bag. Bring to a boil and simmer until the lentils are an acceptable texture. Enjoy with naan or by itself.

        Think like a thick, chunky chili. The flour helps thicken up the base and gives the curry paste something to cling to, so you can add a bit more to thicken it up if you need to. You should be able to scoop it with the bread and have it cling to it.
