I'd like to see this thread feature your favorite dinner recipes that use olive oil to get a substantial amount of calories.
To get the ball rolling…
Chili Mac for 1 (680 calories)
Add 1.25 cups of water and 0.5 cups of elbow pasta in your pot, bring to a boil, add 0.5 cups of bean mix*, bring to boil again, shut off the stove, and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt/pepper/Tabasco to taste.
At the end of the meal I use my fingers to eat the excess from the pot and clean it with a cup of water and my fingers as well; no soap required. The reason that this works, despite adding 2 tablespoons of oil, is that all of the oil gets absorbed into the bean mix.
*1/4 cup dehydrated chili mix and 1/4 cup dehydrated refried beans, both sold in bulk at Berkeley Bowl.
