There is a universal type of “recipe” that covers a ton of basic dishes around the world:

1. Fry hard veggies in oil until soft - can be onions, leeks, carrots, celery, potatoes etc.
2. Add spices, soft veggies, and/or pastes and stir to form a sauce - tomatoes, peppers, garlic, ginger, etc.
3. Stir in your beans/chickpeas/lentils/peas. Most beans should be cooked, lentils and peas usually can be dry/raw.
4. Add water, bring to a boil, and simmer. Amount and time depends on if you want a soup, stew, or just some sauce.
5. Add leafy greens and anything that should be dissolved - spinach, kale, lemon, vinegar, sugar, cilantro etc.

This can make lentil soup, Mediterranean or South American style bean dishes, chana masala, coconut curry, and lots of other stuff. Most can be made with a single pot.

For more wholesome foods I like Dr Greger's recipe books.

I've had a few dishes from them as well, and they are really tasty.
