Crack open a tin of beans, smash them a bit with a fork. Salt, pepper, vinegar, and whatever seasoning blend is within reach. Put it on top of whatever carb I have (toast, tortilla, crackers) is my go-to.
If I don't have a tin of beans, I microwave some frozen peas to smash up.
Hummus also fits this niche but that's not something I keep on hand in the pantry, unlike beans.
My favourite no-cook meal is a slab of semi-firm tofu served cold on a bed of spinach, pour over some soy sauce, spring onion and furikake. But that requires fresh ingredients I don't always have on hand.
Instant noodles, with a handful of frozen corn, and a Nori sheet from the pantry ripped up in it. Tofu (or egg) if you can be bothered.
I'm on the hunt for a vegetarian alternative to a umami packed can of smoked Tuna. I miss smoked Tuna. (I'm allergic to nightshades and haven't found a allergy free fake fish on the market)
Another great lazy meal is hummus. process together a drained + rinsed can of chickpeas, a couple tablespoons of tahini, the juice of half a lemon, salt + spices, and however much water it takes to get the texture you like. Smear it on a plate, maybe add a puddle of olive oil with some herbs sprinkled over, and wipe it up with pita.
