Quick, Cheap and Easy

I`ve decided to start writing down all the different meals that i create. I`m not really into creating huge meals, but when i cook something for myself, its always pretty easy, and almost always delicious.
So here`s the first one from a few days ago that cost about 10 pesos. (1 buck)

Ingredients:

2 "shots" of rice(i don`t have measuring cups so use a double shot glass)
2 "shots" of lentils
12 "shots" of water
1 cube of 3 chiles flavor (like chicken stock)
1 chile rojo

Put all the above ingredients in a pot and cook them about 20 minutes. Meanwhile chop up the following ingredients:

1/2 jalapeƱo
2 cloves of garlic
1 green pepper
1 onion

When the rice and lentils are almost all cooked, add the veggies and cook until they are the desired consistency. About 15 more minutes. You might need to add a little bit more water.

It was absolutley delicious! This amount will probably feed 2 people with small appetites or one person who can eat alot.

As I create more, i{ll post them. Maybe i{ll even create a recipe book eventually.
