If you can afford to do so, I recommend obtaining a rice cooker and/or a crock pot. They great ways to cook food when you don't know how to cook. Because I'm a petit bourgeoisie piece of shit I have a rice cooker that steams vegetables at the same time and now a substantial portion of my meals are rice and assorted vegetables. I'm sure you could get a normal rice cooker to do the same, all you need is a basket that fits correctly with the bowl and the lid. Rice cookers are also good for making lentils, and sometimes I make lentils and rice at the same time to mixed success. The lentils are always a little crunchy but I'm sure if I soaked them/wasnt a lazy piece of shit then it'd work better.

That is a great idea, and one of the flatmates just got a "multi-cooker" thingy that I was gonna try things on. Rice+X for every meal here I come!
Broccoli and lentils are both high in protein and various micronutrients! Plus steamed broccoli is my favourite food (:
Lots of great advice, thanks so much!
