Peel and thinly slice ginger.
With rubber gloves on, finely chop Habanero chili pepper.
Increase heat to medium-high, and stir ginger and Habanero pepper into the Dutch oven. Cook, a couple of minutes.
Add ground cumin and tumeric, and fry, one minute more.
Peel and cube sweet potato. Add to the Dutch oven, along with red lentils, stirring well to coat in oil and spices. Season with coarse sea salt.

Hope one of my friends gets rich so they can hire me as an amateur personal chef. They’ll be like “hey what’s for dinner tonight?” And I’ll go “Well last night at 1am I got sad and made some lentil soup, I can heat that up? Also I tried making brownies but didn’t feel like looking up a recipe & I made cake by mistake, so dessert’s good to go!”

The problem with having the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel portray Willy Wonka as some kind of visionary underdog who the Big Mean chocolatiers are trying to suppress is that… he has magical powers.
Like, there is literally no universe where it matters that this guy can't get a shop, or isn't part of the Chocolate Makers Guild, or is targeted by the Chocolate Cartel, because he has magical powers.
It doesn't matter what the other chocolate makers do to try and smear his reputation or ruin his business, because ultimately their biggest innovation is a chocolate bar that melts in your mouth but not in your hand, and the original Roald Dahl sequel book tells us that Wonka somehow has access to the world where people's souls go before they are born (à la the Pixar film) and has invented a cure for old age.
Even if they did somehow manage to stop him selling ‘candy’, he could easily just rebrand his business and reopen as ‘Wonka's Literal Actual Magic’, and what the hell are they going to do to him then?
The only thing that could touch him in the original film was people bribing his employees to sell them his secret recipes, and he solved that problem almost immediately by firing his entire staff and replacing them with magic singing elves who are happy to be paid in chocolate. This isn't a guy whose problems are normal problems.
This is like if somebody made a new Lord of the Rings prequel that showed Young Sauron being picked on by the Hobbit Craftsmen's Guild because of his innovative ahead-of-their-time jewellery designs. Like it just doesn't work, because while the pieces are technically there for the standard Underdog Shows Them All story template, ultimately the two sides are playing very different ball games here.

I'm a bit like you I have been trying to have more meat free meals. I need some inspiration cos I am sick of death of planning dinner every night until I decompose 😂
yeah the planning thing can demotivate a lot of people. fortunately for me i adore cooking, i have a lot of fun with it, but like most people i don't have that much time on my hands which is why i'm a big fan of batch-cooking! i cook big portions every time and then save the rest in the fridge or freezer for other days of the week or for when i don't have the time or motivation to cook
and for meat-free meals well i can give you a lot of ideas as i very rarely include meat in my recipes (i try to save it for when i got to the restaurant or for family barbecues, make it a little luxurious treat... quality over quantity and all that)
my main advice is to stack your house with a maximum of legumes and starchy food like every type of beans, peas, lentils, rice and pasta (preferably wholegrain) and a maximum of vegetables. like for exemple you just cook yourself some wholewheat pasta and then add a vegetable stir-fry on top of it and call it a day.
one of my favourite meat-free meals is definitely the chickpea curry with carrots, onions and leeks (or any seasonal vegetable instead), i also love a chili sin carne, i'm crazy about anything that has squash/pumpkin in it (part of the reason i adore autumn) like a very simple oven-roasted butternut squash with honey and feta cheese, or red kuri squash gratin. off the top of my head i'm also thinking veggie lasagna, red lentil dahl or vegetable crumble! yum 🤤

ARTHUR SLUGWORTH
            Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ROALD DAHL (1964)
            Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) played by Mick Wingert
Arthur Slugworth is the antagonist in the children’s book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as well as the film and television adaptations.
            Slugworth, like Willy Wonka, is a wealthy owner/manager of his own chocolate company called ‘Slugworth Chocolate Incorporated’. He is jealous of Wonkas recipes and success and hires people to spy on Wonka. Slugworths aim is to bring Wonka’s Factory out of business and to make all the profits himself. Slugworth was present when Wonka opened his factory and the cause of Wonka to close his factory and had to fire all his workers. Wonka continued working with the help of Oompa Loompas and continued to dominate the industry.
            In the 1971 film during the Bill’s Candy Shop scene, Wonka’s products are prominent however; Slugworth’s Sizzlers are also displayed and sold to a young girl.
            Grandpa Joe describes Slugworth as the worst of Wonka’s rivals, telling Charlie that he was one of the spies who were sent to steal Wonka’s Recipes.
            Wonka plants golden tickets inside chocolate wrapping and allegedly knows where they are going to turn up. As each child finds a Golden Ticket, “Slugworth” approaches the child and whispers something in their ear.
I congratulate you, little boy. Well done. You've found the fifth Golden Ticket. May I introduce myself. Arthur Slugworth: President of Slugworth Chocolates, Incorporated. Now, listen carefully because I'm going to make you very rich indeed. Mr. Wonka is at this moment working on a fantastic invention: the Everlasting Gobstopper. If he succeeds, he'll ruin me. So, all I want you to do is to get hold of just one Everlasting Gobstopper and bring it to me so that I can find the secret formula. Your reward will be ten thousand of these.
Think it over, will you. A new house for your family, and good food and comfort for the rest of their lives. And don't forget the name: Everlasting Gobstopper.
            When Wonka asks the children inside his factory not to show the Everlasting Gobstopper to anyone, Veruca Salt crosses her fingers behind her back. Mike Teevee mentions to his mother, what secrets can they sell to Slugworth, his mother tells him to keep his eyes peeled and mouth shut.
At the end of the 1971 film, Wonka tells Charlie he didn’t win the prize because he violated the rules for stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks. Grandpa Joe upset with Wonka, tells him that Charlie can give Slugworth the Gobstopper, Charlie however, sympathises with Wonka and returns the Gobstopper. Wonka forgives Charlie and then reveals that the man wasn’t actually Slugworth, but a trustworthy Wonka employee, Mr. Wilkinson, who wanted to test the children on how trustworthy they are. We don’t actually see the real Slugworth in the 1971 film.

For the new Willy Wonka movie, I'm watching someone on YouTube explain how the Oompa Loompas are still a problem.
They are. Hugh Grant doesn't fix that.
But how amazing would it have been to have cast a black actor in Hugh Grant's role, and take an actual, proper revisionist stab at it? It's so cowardly to try to imagine it all away as, "Uhhhh, they're white now, so there's no problem here hahahah" when they could've actually tackled it in some Make Wonka The Good Guy way. In fact, this should be the movie.
All they'd have to do is keep saying the Oompa Loompas were enslaved by white chocolatiers. But - like, by other companies. They were "imported" by all those competitors that Wonka eventually comes up against.
And Wonka, who was just starting his career, finds out about these slaves, and even befriends one of them. He can't actually do anything beyond maybe learn how they've been taken from their land, and how going back is the dream but right now they wouldn't be safe to return since they'd be immediately re-enslaved. And Wonka's like, "Damn that sucks, I'm also having an equally hard time, exactly on the same level: I can't find any good employees."
Let that simmer in the story for a bit, until the friend comes back to Wonka and says, "Hey, we talked to each other. We've unionized. We're prepared to walk out and go where it's safe - away from all the [insert the names like whizzsnozzers or whatever that Roald Dahl used, but now that's in reference to those violent slavers who kidnapped them rather than "Africa is v danger 😥" like it is in the book]. So Wonka, if you hire us and treat us like actual employees, properly paid like you said you wished you could, we'll come work for you until we can afford to leave."
And then Wonka can be like, "I don't have enough money to pay all of you. 😥"
And the friend can say, "Okay, let me come back to you about that." And he goes off to have a huddle with the other union reps, then comes back and says, "You can pay us in chocolate."
But this time, it's not referring to literal chocolate bars. It's referring to equity in the company. Wonka is going to go into business with the Oompa Loompas, who now become owners and shareholders of the enterprise. Let's give Wonka some extra Good White Person Hollywood points and say he agrees to a total 50/50 split, which would also explain why they eventually have that contest in the original story: it's not just about convincing Wonka about how a good successor would be, but who the Oompa Loompas would like, which is why they're so pointed about their songs and treatment of the shitty kids discovering consequences to their actions. (Ooh-la-la - there's your sequel hook to end it on. "It'd take a lot to replace someone like you, Wonka. We'd have to search the entire world." / "I think we can do that someday. :)")
So the other chocolatiers are furious, because Wonka's stolen all their slaves and is actually treating them like business partners, and there go all their experts in the factory! They say it's poaching, they say it's to get secrets, they say it's sabotage - whatever, but they take it as absolute war against Wonka, because obviously their chocolate gets shitty once your slaves leave and take their experience with them. That's why those competitors get so personally vicious with Wonka: they all agreed to a 'civilized' market before him, but now he's upset the balance and ruined everything.
Maybe the chocolate gets so good at Wonka's that the other companies - who have stolen and appropriated the Oompa Loompas' cultural techniques and various family recipes for chocolate - agree to sell some of their recipes back. And it's a celebration every time for the Oompa Loompas to see some of themselves being freed from these slavers' hands. Eventually, they're able to put the main antagonists completely out of business, and that money's enough to send the Oompa Loompas home again - even to start their own business to help rebuild what was destroyed, and to remain in partnership with Wonka. The friend stays with Wonka to help run things from their new headquarters though, and it's the beginning of a beautiful new future for them both.
There ya go: you call the Oompa Loompas what they are (slaves), make the token effort to compensate them fairly moving forward, get some reparations from the companies being made to turn over what they stole and the money they were making off of it, and build the whimsical world of mixing Wonka's magical ideas with one particular Oompa Loompa's passion and experience, because not every goddamn Oompa Loompa has to be in love with chocolate, and many won't be after the shit they were put through. And show that too! Some others stay but they're doing the magic of accounting and paperwork, because they hate chocolate. Maybe they all hate chocolate for the harm it's brought to them.
There could be whole subplots around the main Oompa Loompa friend realizing the stolen beauty of chocolate that they've been denied, how it brightens the faces of children in this new land, and how he could take it home to help heal from what's happened - and not even in a big way. In a very Hollywood "I've come home and given chocolate to an Oompa Loompa child and her face lit up so we're not so different after all hahaha chocolate fixes everything" way. End the scene on that note.
Meanwhile you could see Wonka struggling to make his creations a reality, and him and the Oompa Loompa friend bond over the friend being like, "This smells horrible. Why are you doing it like this? No wonder it sucks. Here, this is how I would do it." And Wonka's like, "Damn, that's cool. But what if it did this other thing too?" And the friend's like, "My cousin worked in construction before he was fucking enslaved and abducted by Slughorn - lemme ask him. :)" And then there's a whole bunch of Oompa Loompas with different backgrounds (all experts in their fields before having that stripped away to work in sweatshops) secretly helping Wonka very, very late at night to create his first WOW MAGIC candy that puts him on the map.
And then - oh no! The competition is doing it too?! Because they found out which Oompa Loompas had helped him and forced them to make it there too, and the friend tells Wonka (or overtly doesn't go into detail) about what they did to force that to happen. That's what puts the idea of Wonka saying, "If you worked for me, you and I could make all these dreams come true, and no one would ever do that to you again." Just for the friend to be like, "It'snot just me. It's everyone they brought here. I can't leave without them." Which leads to the whole "Let me talk to the others" conversation.
Like, idk, Wonka's had so much controversy around that and it could've been its own story to focus on. Instead they went Cotton Candy Whimsy YAAAAAY Hugh Grant White Imported Worker YAAAAAAY. You want a grounded and gritty remake like everything else? This is the most hopeful version out there about that: Wonka realizing the horrors of this, working with the Oompa Loompas, maybe a HUGE point where Wonka screams at his friend and the Oompa Loompas exactly the same way the other chocolatiers did and realizes he's no better than them...
... and how great would it be for him to realize that, realize how quickly everything was taken from his friends and how quickly it could be taken away from them again, and the fear and anger on the Oompa Loompas' faces after he yells at them? And then for him to even be tempted by the other chocolatiers to join them in their ways, to realize the "problem" of giving these Oompa Loompas too much freedom, how they get too uppity and interfere with what should be simple slave-jobs. And Wonka to insist that he's 50/50 with the Oompa Loompas, just for one of the chocolatiers to say, "Haha that's pretty good! I should offer them that. Because we all know I'd still hold the real power there."
That's Wonka's big Good White Person motivation to go back to the Oompa Loompas and say, "These are my ideas, but this is your work and your ingenuity. I can't do what you do, and this wouldn't be possible without you. So if you'll let me apologize and do this properly, let's make the deal you should've had from the start: all of us are equal owners. Every single one of us." Which would give Wonka just a fraction of a percentage of ownership as the rest is evenly split among everyone else.
The Oompa Loompas go back to think about it, and the friend - who justifiably stopped talking to Wonka - comes back to give the decision. They talk, they make up, Wonka apologizes, the friend accepts without doing the shitty "We both made mistakes" thing, and the friend goes back to business and says, "Here's the deal: you and I get 25% each. I like your ideas. They're stupid - no one else could ever come up with them. So I want you to work with me, but as equal partners in this."
Wonka says, "Okay."
The friend says, "Every other Loompa gets their share of the other 50%. We'll set up a trust for the kids to help give them a future, and anyone who wants to work in our factories has a job made for them. We can do anything - we're not all just here to make chocolate. We're people."
Wonka says, "Fair."
The friend says, "Last thing: we've been paraded around as those other guys' mascots from the start. We'll work with you, but... you've gotta be the face."
Wonka's like, "I think I can do that."
The friend's like, "I know you can. :)"
And it's very sweet and probably a callback to something Wonka said to him earlier in the movie.
Damn. Damn, I would've really liked to watch that.
Danny Glover as the friend, btw. That's who I'm fancasting in this. 💖
