I'm looking for something healthy enough I can whip up on the worst days.

And sorry if this has been asked before. I'm struggling with the search function, haha.

Anything in the Jambalaya, Biryani, Paella family. Cook some onion and veg in oil till starting to soften, add protein, dry rice, spice, and water. Bring to boil and reduce to low until rice is done and water is absorbed.

It's great because you can go in a ton of flavor directions and ingredient directions without getting tired of one dish. It works with almost anything you have in the house. Mastering one basic dish can give you a lot of versatility.

If you have extra energy you can do things like brown the meat first, cook the rice in the oil before adding the water, use stock, etc.

I know at least the Jambalaya & Paella are dishes known for being the leftovers-in-a-pot meal in their home colleges. (ergo, they're mostly tourist food now) I'm not sure about Biryani, though.
