I always rinse the rice, not to the point of water running clear, but to get most of the excess starch off. I always use Jasmine. I rinse the lentils till the foam stops.
Whether organic or not grains, beans, lentils, sit in warehouses.
I made a big pot of black beans with collards, onions, peppers, sweet potatoes and a can of diced tomatoes. Seasoned with berbere.
I may add corn if I have it

I had a big lunch, so I wasn't really hungry for a full dinner. I did just have a slice of toast with vegan butter, a little Violife mozzarella and a couple of slices of vegan pepperoni on top. It hit the spot.

I marinated fava bean tofu for a couple of hours and pre-cooked a pot of jasmine rice and then set it outside to do its resistive starch thing and then my honey made us some lovely fried rice with onion, peas, corn, carrot, etc and I sauted the tofu in a bit of Korean BBQ sauce and a few drops of sesame oil and then he mixed it all together.

I'm making Plant-based Bistro's buffalo chik'n patty. They use it in a sandwich, but I'm going to eat a patty with the other half of the home fries I had for breakfast, steamed broccoli and sautéed kale.
ETA: This came out pretty good. My only quibble is that it needs a bit of salt (for health reasons, the Bistro is quite low-almost no salt). I think instead of water, I'll use veggie broth for the seitan next time. Other than that it was great. The texture was wonderful. I think it's due to adding some chickpea flour in the dry mix. It really does help reduce what can be a rubbery texture. I will get four servings out of the recipe, which is great. It's very filling. I made my own buffalo sauce as well as the ranch dressing. I basically make a quick ranch with vegan mayo, a little vinegar, a little lemon juice, some garlic and onion powdes and dill weed.
