Jumbo stock pot
8 liters of water
the usual ingredients for a batch of vegetarian chili sauce
that can be poured over rice or noodles when reheated
5 pounds of tomatoes on the vine cut in to 1/4 and then put in the blender & use the pulse setting
1 lb of Onions diced
1 lb of carrots Julian cut or grated on thick cut.
1 lb of celery diced into thumb nail sized pieces
2 cans of tomato paste to add extra oomph
2 cans beef stock and 4 table spoons of beef bullion
2 cups of dried lentils no need to presoak they will cook down very soft in the stock pot as it simmers. but do spread them out over a large white cloth and look through them for seeds small stones twigs or other foreign material and of course poorly colored lentils that do not look like they were split well.that may need to be removed prior to adding to your stock.
3 cups worth of kidney beans. soaked in Brine for 48 hours
4 cups of pot barley soaked in brine for 48 hours
by presoaking the dried barely and the beans will really shorten the stove top time for simmering bringing it down from 6 hours to 3 stir often. I like to use a medium low heat till the pot starts to rolling boil then I drop it down to a low heat where upon I cover it and let it simmer giving it a good stirring every 15 minutes to get everything moving around .. I learned this form a former room mate Thanks Harold wherever you are now man this simple sauce/stew/soup. has provided many many cheap meals.
once you are done simmering let it cool on the counter for 30 minutes (covered) then break it down into 2-3 cup sized portions with a ladle and freeze it..
when ever you need a cheap meal take it out & to defrost you can do it on the stove top or by microwave. add some pasta rice or potatoes and maybe some meat if you wish and chow down the lentils and kidney beans add fair protein though so you don't really need to add any meat.
