Very low effort meals needed

I have ME/CFS and have just realised I need to be more strategic about time spent in the kitchen. I need to reduce effort as much as possible, basically. Shame, as I enjoy cooking (sometimes) and have resisted making this change for too long. I use a perching stool so I can sit while I chop but still, the lower effort the better.

I need to change my shopping habits to include more preprepared frozen veg, frozen steam rice, more family size ready meals, and incorporate more dishes that are like 'dump the jar on the chicken beasts and walk away for forty minutes'.

So, please share your low effort tips. I would really really appreciate it.

Hallo OP
There's a whole load of slow cooker stuff in our content IIRC ^
This thread has been reported as super useful = d'you mind if we move it out of chat and into our food topic so it doesn't disappear forever?
TIA

Tut tut Olivia

If you're going to post on this thread, you'll need to give us your favourite simple recipe.

It's in the new talk guidelines

You got me.Grin
I have one from a magazine that we have a lot this time of year
Fry lots of sliced chorizo until it's cooked, add 2 x tins drained/rinsed cannel ini beans, 1 x tin chopped toms, and 200ml odd of chicken stock to a casserole dish
Cover and put in oven for half an hour (180C)
then remove lid and scatter breadcrumbs all over the top and leave to cook for the final 10-15 mins
Takes 5 mins secs to get going. but is amaze balls when you get out of oven - v comforting and filling- feeds 4 easily or two rather greedily (guilty)

Hi all,

Just letting you know that we're moving this thread over to our Food and Recipes topic, here so it doesn't disappear.

Will be back on later with a recipe before anyone tells me off... Wink
