Lentils and rice can be cooked together in a rice cooker or a pot. Rice and split red lentils have pretty much the same cooking time, so when one is done the other is as well. You can use vegetable stock at half strength instead of water which makes the flavour nice. Beyond that maybe a little hot sauce and you're good.
No chopping, no knives, one pot meal. prep time is about 20 minutes.
I would use 1/2 cups rice and 1/2 cups lentils. With 2 cups of half strength vege stock (or water).
Protein = 23g +7g =30g
Calories= 340 + 350 =700
If you wanted to add some more cheap calories and flavour I would put in 1-2 TBSP olive oil, the meal is pretty low in fats to start with.
I think you could make this for well under 2$ per serving, and it makes a pretty large meal.
