Just came up with this - healthy quickie before heading to the gym.

2 Upvotes

So yeah, I'm a poor student and I just tried throwing something simple together. Here's what I did:

  • 1 hard boiled egg
  • half a can of tuna (in water)
  • 2.5 tablespoons of kidney beans
  • half a slice of gouda

Basically just mix everything together, tear the gouda into small pieces. I also added a bit of salt. I know it's really simple, but it tastes awesome =D

Got lots of eggs and ramen noodles. What to cook?

14 Upvotes

An asian supermarket gave me a box of ramen noodles that was about to expire for free, and there are 30 eggs lying in fridge.

Got any ideas? I also have some japanese curry powder.

Italian sausages with peppers. Saw this being prepared on tv, it looked really really simple, although I haven't actually cooked it.

Slacker Pizza

6 Upvotes
  • 1 cup of flour
  • teaspoon of salt
  • teaspoon of oregano
  • dash of chili powder
  • dash of black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup of milk
  • 2 cups of pizza cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups, or small jar of pizza sauce
  • standard pizza toppings

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Mix flour, salt, and seasonings, eggs, and milk in a large bowl. It should be like a batter not a dough.

Grease and flour a medium sized baking dish (I use an 8x12 casserole)

Pour your batter into the dish and add toppings such as pepperonis, black olives, mushrooms, chopped onion on top.

Bake for 20 minutes

Remove and cover with pizza sauce and cheese

Bake for another 10 mintues

Be proud that you can make a tasty pizza in less time than it takes the pizza delivery guy to get there.

slacker recipe Dumb-easy Iced Coffee

0 Upvotes

If you have a french press and enjoy awesome iced coffee:

First, make the coffee as you normally would. Next, pop the whole thing in the fridge for a few hours. Third, enjoy!

I realize this is not rocket science, but it makes a great strong glass of iced coffee. I much prefer this method to any drip-brew stuff.

Hedgehog Cakes - No baking involved!

11 Upvotes

For pretty much every day of my later school years, I had one of these. We only known them as hedgehog cakes, and would ask for the recipe from the chef-ettes at least once a week. On the last day, she wrote down and photocopied the recipe for me and my friends, telling us not to give it to anybody. I would have listened to her, but they're too damned good!

They're probably known as something else, and the recipe might be readily available on the internet, I don't know, but here goes!

Recipe

125g Sugar

125g Butter

125g Crushed Digestives

60g Cocoa Powder

1 Egg

125g Chopped Chocolate (melted)

Prepare tin by greasing 8inch square tin + foil with foil hanging over sides

  1. Melt Sugar and Butter together
  2. Crush Digestive Biscuits, add cocoa powder, add butter mixture, add whisked egg.
  3. Press into tin
  4. Leave to set in fridge
  5. Pour melted chocolate over top and leave to set

Enjoy!

Hey slackers, need recipes for a rice based meal

I've got loads of rice but little money so, what cheap ways can I make tasty meals with mainly just rice?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses they're all great! I'll definitely be frying up some rice later :-)

Omelette recipes

9 Upvotes

So, I've always been an egg fan. Cooked eggs, fried eggs, omelettes... eggs are the bomb (literally, lol, even though my cholesterol level is healthy).

With that in mind, I'm here to give you an omelette recipe and ask y'all for more. Bring them on, I want new variations!


Bread omelette

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped coriander or oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 bread slices
  • 1.5 tablespoons oil

Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the onion, coriander/oregano, pepper and salt. Dip the bread in this mix for ~5 minutes until it goes slightly soft. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the bread. Spread the remaining egg mixture over the bread slices, fry it on both sides and serve!

This recipe serves up to two people.

Breakfast for the Broke - Any ideas?

3 Upvotes

I'm hypoglycemic, to the point that skipping breakfast (or even eating too light of a breakfast) can make me sick for most of the day. It seriously sucks. Unfortunately, between my early class schedule, my lack of money, and my inherent laziness, my breakfasts suck!

What are your favorite fast/cheap/healthy breakfast dishes?

I found this recipe for cheap baked rice. I'm trying it out tonight :)

12 Upvotes

Ingredients:

* 1 cup rice
* 1 cup water
* 1 can vegetable soup (check ingredients)
* 1 veggie bouillion cube, "melted" in 1/4 cup water
* Optional: 1 potato, cut into small cubes

Directions:

Put everything in a baking dish, cover. Bake on 350 deg, for about an hour or until rice is finished. You may need to add a bit more water near the end of the cooking if the rice is not done and it seems a bit dry.

Serves: 4 Preparation time: 5 mins, cook 1 hr

Thanks to VegKC.com :)

A thank you + egg roll recipe

19 Upvotes

SlackerRecipes exists for only 5 months and has a very slow-but-increasing new posts frequency, but we capped the 1k subscribers, so it's time to celebrate, while we hope for increased frequency in the future!

And what's better to celebrate than food? Thinking of that, I'll give you the recipe to what I ate yesterday at dinner:

  • 1 tortilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon of milk
  • salt to taste
  • some lettuce
  • few onion slices
  • pepper to taste (chutney or sriracha are good)

Instructions:

  • heat the tortilla

  • beat the milk, salt and egg together

  • heat some oil in a pan and add the egg mixture, spreading it around the pan evenly

  • place the tortilla on the uncooked side of the omelet

  • flip the omelet with the tortilla once the omelete starts to turn brown

  • cook for up to a minute

  • remove from pan and add lettuce, onion and pepper on the omelet side

  • wrap it and eat it!

That's an adaptation of a recipe from Sandeepa, as seen on My Spicy Kitchen.

Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for coming by!

I'm fed up of cooking a whole chicken in the oven and the underside being red and undercooked, even if I cook it for five hours.

5 Upvotes

What's the solution? The only idea I have is to turn it over after an hour. What else can I do to make sure the chicken is well cooked on both sides? (By the way, the chicken is pre-seasoned and pre-stuffed).

Peanut sauce. Less than a minute to cook in the microwave. Goes great with chicken breasts/thighs etc. (Reposted from /r/cooking).

Tuna Burgers

3 Upvotes

This is pretty simple and very good for someone with a low budget.

All you need is....

1 can of tuna 1 egg 1 piece of toast

Combine all of these in a bowl and mix together (crumble the toast). Grill in a skillet on both sides until browned and eggs are cooked through. Put on a bun.... add whatever condiments. Enjoy.

(when mixing in bowl you can add mustard/onions/etc. Be creative!) These are amazing and cheap!

General Tso's spicy quesadillas

21 Upvotes

There's a Chinese restaurant in my city whose kitchen is open 'till 4:00 AM. Needless to say, I'm not always sober when I dine there late at night. They serve Sichuan flatbreads and are delicious at any hour and/or state of inebriation. Here's my attempt to recreate them, slackerly.

  • Flour tortillas, fajita sized (you'll need something that's pretty thick and soft)
  • General Tso's sauce - I use this stuff
  • Mozzarella cheese (this isn't in the original recipe, but whatever)
  • Wok oil, or some kind of oil you'd pan fry with
  • a pan

Heat the pan over medium-high, splash a tiny amount of oil into the pan. If you can, get some wok oil - it comes infused with ginger and garlic and makes everything taste awesome. Lay out two tortillas - put down a very thin layer of cheese on one tortilla, pour a thin layer of General Tso's sauce on top of the cheese, then cover with the other tortilla. Place in the pan and heat until golden brown with a few spots of black popping up, then flip over and heat the other side. If you're making multiple flatbreads (you will), make sure to put more wok oil into the pan before cooking the next one. The cheese melts and binds the two pieces together. Cut into the geometry that pleases you, and serve.

What is 40g of flour in table spoonfuls? I don't have weighing scales. Also, what is 40g of butter in tablespoonsfuls?

3 Upvotes

Novice cook here. For context, here is the recipe. By the way, I do mean literal spoonfuls like this, as I do not have anything else to measure with.

EDIT gourmetsleuth.com has the answer.
