    When I was REALLY struggling is what caused me to really learn how to cook. Ended up learning how to make bread and pasta because flour was many times cheaper than bread. And when home made bread and pasta is about the only thing you have to eat, you get REALLY creative on how to start introducing flavor with very little.
    My go-to struggle meal was Garlic white sauce pasta. One plate costs $0.52 using today's prices.
    For the pasta:
    2 cups flour
    3 eggs
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 tablespoon olive oil
    Mix until smooth, form into a ball and wrap in saran wrap. refrigerate for an hour. Cut into quarters, and roll each quarter into sheets.
    Roll each sheet and cut them as evenly as possible (IF you're struggling this hard, you probably dont own a pasta machine.)
    Boil for about 2 minutes.
    For the bachemel:
    Mince 2 gloves garlic (buy the big bag of garlic. much cheaper than the 3 head bag. you get like 20 heads of garlic for $5.) ,
    Melt 1/4 stick of butter in a small sauce pan. Add your garlic
    Once garlic is golden brown, add 2 tablespoons flour, stir constantly until blond roux forms
    Add 1/2 cup chicken stock and 2 cups milk, salt to taste.
    Cook about 10 minutes then let rest about 15 minutes.
    This makes four portions and got me through some rough times. Feeds you for about $1.50 per day.
    If you're feeling really fancy, you can add some chicken breast. But that's going to double the cost to $3 per day. And we're struggling here.

    I first tried savory oatmeal when I was coming off of a medical liquid diet. I was already drinking a lot of broth for protein so I figured what the heck? Might as well have fiber and protein at the same time, my flavor pallet was already all messed up anyway so I wasn’t worried about it being weird. It was so delicious and satisfying I made it every day! I’ve iterated on it and now it’s my favorite breakfast. Mine looks like this:
    - 2ish cups of water (I like extra water for extra creaminess, so I fill my 2 cup measuring cup all the way)
    - 1 packet of chicken bone broth powder
    - 1 cup of oats
    - Thyme (powdered or fresh)
    - Garlic powder
    - Onion powder
    - Salt & pepper
    From there it’s the usual, just boil the water and as it’s boiling add and mix all of the ingredients except the oats. I never measure how much of the spices I use, I just shake it in until it smells good. Once it boils, add the oats and reduce to a simmer. I like the texture of thoroughly cooked oatmeal so I cook it until it’s thick and holds together well which is probably around 15-20 minutes, I just eyeball it and call it good when it doesn’t look runny. I sprinkle a bit of salt on top and enjoy!
    I have noticed that trying this with chicken broth can make it kind of unpleasantly spongey and goopy, and it isn’t as flavorful imo. I love the deeper richer flavor of bone broth and it keeps the creamy oatmeal texture better in my experience, but that’s probably just preference

      I tend to use oats to make my leftover stuff last longer. However, I also like it as a savory breakfast from time to time. Mine is simply cooked oats mixes with some breakfast sausage, seasoned, and like 3 finger tips of cheese.
      For leftover stuff, like chilly or spaghetti sauce with meat, I make the above without the breakfast sausage and add 2-3 scoops of my leftover item.

    The vermicelli noodles + milk and sugar one, I believe they were trying to tell you the recipe for something like savaiya.
    It's an Indian desert (Pakistan probably has it too) and it tastes great when made properly. You're supposed to use vermicelli only though, add some saffron and dried fruits too and it tastes amazing.

    My “struggle meals” were ones I didn’t even know were struggle meals in the first place. I was in elementary school when I had them and I only learned later in life that they were because my parents weren’t doing well financially.
    The process was something my parents called “five bowls”. We had these tiny little palm sized bowls and in each one, there were different tidbits to eat. For example: One would have baby carrots, one would have cottage cheese, one would have a microwaved scrambled egg (named an “up-up-up egg” because of how it would puff up in the microwave) with cheese on top, one would have berries, and one would have some granola. The contents of each bowl changed around in order to keep it interesting enough for me to not get dissatisfied, but so long as they covered the food groups, the meal was good to go.

    I was an international student barely making through about 20yrs ago. My struggle guilty pleasure was rice cooker biriyani. I would buy the cheapest chicken cut available and marinade it with yoghurt, salt, cayenne and garam masala powder I would buy at the Indian grocery store. I fried some onions n the marinated chicken.
    Would then put the chicken n rice together in the cooker till cooked.
    Finally eat it with the fried onions on top.
    It probably didn’t taste anything like the original but I remember it giving me comfort and reminded me of home. Also i felt rich when having this meal so gave me a general feeling of accomplishment as well.
    Now I have a comfortable life and can afford to order n cook as I please but I still cook it at times when I am alone to bring back the nostalgia.

    One of my struggle meals (but I also eat it regularly, because it's good and easy) is spinach pasta.
    1 pack of frozen spinach (no matter which. I simply go with the cheapest one)
    1 can of champignons (optional)
    1 - 2 onions in half rings (depends on size / preference)
    1 pack of pasta (fussili / penne / spaghetti / whatever you like)
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp pepper
    1/4 tsp nutmeg (if available)
    1 tsp paprika powder (sweet)
    garlic ( 3 fresh cloves or 1 tsp powder)
    2 tsp broth powder OR 1 cube
    50 ml heavy cream / coconut milk / whole fat milk
    some fat to fry
    1. Cook the pasta. In the meantime cut the onions in half rings and fry until golden.
    2. Put in the frozen spinach. Fry on medium heat until everything is melted. (If using champignons, also put them in)
    3. Add milk / cream / whatever you're using plus seasoning. Let it sit on medium heat for 5 mins.
    4. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
    5. Add cooked pasta in pan, stir, enjoy.
    This amount should last for about 2 - 3 days.
    You can also add mozarella, gouda or any cheese you like. Makes it more tasty and creamy. You can vary this recipe a lot. With potatoes or rice it's also very delicious.

    one i learned kinda recently (i don't remember where from specifically) was pretty nice, cheesy ramen. you prepare your ramen like normal (seasoning optional) then strain it once it's almost completely done saving a tiny bit of the ramen water. then you melt some butter in a pan on simmer and pour in milk, then add american cheese slices (or velveeta or something, basically just processed stuff. fancy cheeses don't melt right, i tried) and stir until the cheese, milk and butter become one. then put the noodles and noodle water in and stir them into the cheese milk butter so they cook the rest of the way. as long as you didn't add too much milk or butter or noodle water, the starch in the noodle water will help the cheese milk butter thicken and reduce just enough to form cheese goo. put in bowl, let it cool so you don't burn your literal entire mouth with cheese goo ramen like i did, and you're done.

    The best struggle meal is lentil soup. All you need is red lentils, onion, a bit of oil and some cumin, salt, and pepper. Everything else you add is optional. Most people already have all these things, it's very healthy, and it's done in 20 mins tops. The cherry on top is that one cup of dried red lentils makes around 4 portions so it's super cheap to make too!

I personally love it, but ramen noodles are not very suitable, since they're a bit savoury by itself, so instead use vermicelli (it's basically just spaghetti, but really short, like 2-3 sm long).

    There is a sandwich we Lebanese called sandwich batata (potatoes sandwich) which could be considered a struggle meal?
    Ingredients
    - Bread: We typically use Lebanese flatbread, but you can use any type of bread you want.
    - A salad we call 'coleslaw' but that probably isn't, it is made up of:
    - Shredded white cabbage
    - Shredded carrots
    - Canned corn
    - Mayonnaise
    - My mother sometimes shredded 'red cabbage' and added them to the salad so you can do that if you want too.
    - Sauces for the sandwich:
    - Ketchup
    - Garlic sauce (toom/ثوم)
    - And mayonnaise for the salad
    - Fillings:
    - A large amount of fried French fries
    - Pickled cucumbers
    Instructions
    1. Prepare the Coleslaw Salad:
    - In a bowl, combine shredded white cabbage, shredded carrots, canned corn, and mayonnaise.
    - Optionally, add shredded red cabbage.
    - Add some Salt
    - Mix well and set aside.
    2. Prepare the Bread:
    - Take your choice of bread: Lebanese flatbread, soft baguette, or any other type of bread.
    - Spread ketchup and garlic sauce (toom/ثوم) on the inside of the bread. The sandwich tastes better when there are large amounts of sauce in there. (For me at least)
    - Place a large amount of fried French fries inside the bread. Like really large amounts, there is a place in Lebanon called Malik el-batata and the sandwich that is wider than my arm and it is so delicious. So don't be stingy with the fries.
    - Add the prepared coleslaw salad on top of the fries.
    - Add some pickled cucumbers.
    - Close the sandwich, cut if necessary, and serve.
    Also drink some pepsi with it. And if your feeling lazy you can just chop some white cabbage add some mayonnaise and mix and call the product a coleslaw salad nothing wrong with that.

    That thin pizza is better if you get a thin bread thats not as strong as a tortilla. My favorite is Joseph’s Lavash Bread.
    1. Same deal, spray aluminum foil on a pan with some oil, bake at 425F for 3 mins or so till it just starts to brown, add pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese. Heat til melted, bam pizza.
    2. It’s also pretty good if you cut into sections for chips, heat til they get slightly browned (up to your preference, you can leave them slightly chewy as well which is pretty good). I like to dip them with guacamole.
    3. Protein French toast. I like to lift and this goes around as a bodybuilding hack or so but I think it’s healthier than regular French toast. Make French toast, but swap the milk and whole eggs for just egg whites. Add your cinnamon and vanilla or whatever you prefer, I prefer a sweetener instead of sugar, mix, dip bread, make French toast. It’s basically the same, but if you have 3-4 slices with some fruit it’s like eating a huge steak and potatoes. Very filling!

    Fried corned beef on toast with salad £5-8 serves 6-
    1. Start by frying an onion maybe 2 if they're especially small, once they're 2-3 minutes from your preffered doneness add a table spoon of tomato puree, to the onions until your desired doneness. (I prefer 2 minutes on a medium-high heat then down to a low-medium once you add the tomato puree with maybe 3-5mm thick onions constantly stirred).
    2. Add a whole tin of corned beef and season with your desired seasonings (I like a small amount of smoked paprika, a couple dashes of worcester sauce and black pepper but whatever you have and fits your palate), fry and add more tomato puree until it's reached the consistency of pate or however thick you'd like it.
    3. Spread it on lightly toasted bread (I like toasted til it's barely floppy).usually on a cheap wholemeal loaf but whatver bread you have will suffice.
    4. Spread onto the toast, serve with salad. Spring onions or celery help to cut through the fatty flavours, But whatever salad you have will work and most likely improve it.
    You should get enough for around 1/2 to a full loaf of bread depending on how thin you spread it and how much salad you have to add on top.
    Should easily be able to feed a family of 6 for around £5-8 depending on what salad you use. I like to add HP brown sauce as the vinegar helps cut through the fat and balance out the flavours.

Get some Hawaiian rolls, slice them in half, take any sliced cheese you like and any sandwich ham you like and slap it on your rolls and then add whatever mustard you want. Cook on 350 between 12-15 minutes and you got some banger sliders

    I've got a really cool traditional Swedish recipe for "Frost Lump."
    I know, I know, the name translates horribly, but it's a lovely meat dish.
    You will need:
    *1-1,5 Kg steak of beef or moose. Deep frozen. Moose being the traditional, but beef probably being easier to acquire for most of you. DO NOT use pork. (~2-3 pounds.)
    *1 liter of water. (~4,2 Cups.)
    *1 dl of salt. (~0,4 Cups. Yes, really.)
    *1 tablespoon of sugar.
    *1/2 teaspoon of crushed black-pepper.
    *5-6 juniper berries, dried.
    *1 bay leaf.
    How to cook:
    *Put the still frozen steak in the oven, and cook it for 10-12 hours at 75 Celsius. (167 F.) Shorter time equals rarer meat, if that's your thing, but I usually prefer mine well-cooked.
    *Crush the pepper, juniper berries & bay leaf. Add to the water with the salt & sugar, and bring to a boil in a pot big enough for both the brine & the meat.
    *Leave the brine to cool while the meat cooks. This is usually overnight.
    *Take the meat out. (It will look very blackened and dry on the outside, this is normal.)
    *Add the meat into the brine, and leave it there for 4-5 hours with the whole mix standing somewhere cool. Make sure to not leave the meat in there longer then that, or the meat will become overly salty.
    *(If the brine doesn't cover your steak, turn it every hour for the sake of an even soak.)
    Slice thin and serve cold with potato gratin. Or rice & Bearnaise sauce.
    I'm convinced the only reason this dish isn't more well-known is how silly its translated name is plus the cooking time. It's like... a gamey but more tender version of roast-beef that's EASIER to make.

      Well, if it helps, it's technically more accurate to call it Ground Frost Lump. And let's be honest Tjälknöl is a silly name even in Swedish

    • @LORDOFDORKNESS42
      @LORDOFDORKNESS42 4 місяці тому

      ​@@VeyeL Fair, fair.
      Prefer translating it to "Frost Lump" because it sounds funny silly instead of needing to explain that there's this special Swedish word for "frozen soil that isn't permafrost." And that there's no dirt or burial in this recipe, but it's a reference to the texture of the raw meat during the cooking process.
      Still, there's an argument for accuracy vs accessibility there.

    my struggle meal for when i have the cold is potato-leak-stew. you need one potato, one leak and some stock cube and butter.
    shop a leak somewhat up and saute in butter. shop up one or two potatos (you don't even have to peel them, if you happen to have fresh small ones), throw it in, cover with water, get some stock cube in for taste, let it boil til the potatos are done.
    if i'm not struggling, i make it fancy. i start by rendering some fat bacon down, get some shopped up garlic and onion in there with the leak. later seasoning with herbes and some dijon mustard. i'm gonna tell ya, it's f'ing delicious.

Which shares the same issue with the "Strategic cheese supply" I noted above; some of that milk used for the cheese could have been churned to butter and sold for lower prices through larger supply making it more affordable for more people so it would be bought more often and thus increased profit margins! But no.

    Here's me struggle meal that I use quite often:
    As a prelude: Buy meat that still has the bone in it at the start of the month (here in Switzerland those cuts are usually cheaper than any other meat). Cook it, but keep the bones and put them into the freezer.
    Now onto the recepie:
    Take a can of tomatoes, lots of onions and the bones to make a tomato sauce/soup. Let it simmer for at least 2-6h.
    Use that sauce on rice/pasta, who knows what the cheapest carb option is in your country.
    The bones give it a fulfilling taste while not actually eating any meat. Also it's quite healthy because you get stuff from the bones, that you usually don't get.
