I sometimes do the one-dish-for-the-whole-week thing too. These are my favourite and least expensive recipes:
Mint-Flavoured Lentil Soup -- Serves 6-8
Method
This recipe comes from a great, but obscure cookbook called Arab Cooking on a Saskatchewan Homestead. The author's family came to Canada during the Great Depression and this book is a compendium of all the traditional Syrian dishes that his mom made using cheap and easy-to-find ingredients. Each chapter is built around a specific ingredient like chickpeas, potatoes, burghul, etc. Totally useful when you're trying to follow a budget and only have few main ingredients in the kitchen.
Simple Lentil Dal with Fresh Ginger Green Chiles, and Cilantro
Okay, this is technically one pot and a pan, but it's so cheap and delicious that it's worth the extra washing up. The recipe is for four, but it's easily multiplied. Also, once you know how to make the basic lentil mixture (lentils, turmeric, salt, water), you can completely change the flavour of the finished dish by adding a different tempering oil. The one in the link is quite tasty, but this one is equally good and even simpler:
Cumin and Dried Red Chiles Tempering Oil -- Serves 4
