Lazy Student Casserole

What do you do when you cook for yourself and you're lazy to stand by the pot and stir? You make a casserole. (Stove-top one, I don't have an oven yet).


It's really simple really. Just slice your veggies, layer them in a pot, cook on low heat. DONE! If anyone's interested, I got the recipe from a manga (Cooking Papa), once again. Even though it's never sure exactly how safe it is to test recipes from fictional characters, I like getting inspired by them.

With the potatoes inside, you don't even need any rice or anything. The veggies will leak out some juice, so it's not bad to mop up with bread if you're still hungry enough. Feel free to change the veggie type, just make sure the potatoes are not the bottom-most layer.

What do you do when you're lazy (not counting instant noodles and such stereotypical student food)?

RECIPE (full meal for one person)
  Ingredients
  • 2 small potatoes (or 1 large one)
  • 1/3 zucchini/courgette
  • 3 white mushrooms (champignon de Paris)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1 piece tofu
  • 150 g mozzarella
  • salt, pepper, chili flakes, Maggi soy sauce, Provencal herbs
  • neutral oil
  Procedure
  1. Slice everything
  2. Heat a small pot, then remove from heat. Coat the bottom with some mild oil (I used olive oil)
  3. Layer your veggies (this is the order I used, the bottom-most one being the one at the bottom of the list):
                    Mozzarella
                    Tofu + soy sauce + pepper + chili flakes
                    Bell pepper
                    Mushroom
                    Potato + bit of salt
                    Zucchini + herbs
  4. Return to the stove, close the lid, and let cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until all the veggies are cooked through
  5. Enjoy~
