1. chili powder (by which I mean the seasoning blend for chili the stew, rather than "chili powder" meaning straight cayenne or whatever), and/or
2. cumin, or
3. italian seasoning (good with lentils, not beans)
Generally, food tastes good to people who are hungry, with only minimal seasoning. And if you're finding that your beans and lentils DON'T taste good without oil or salt, then you probably aren't hungry. Don't eat for an hour. Drink some water. Repeat.
Generally, people who require their food to be highly stimulating and hyper palatable, seem to stay stuck in the pleasure trap -- always passively overconsuming. For some people, it is enough to have a vegan diet that helps animals, but does not help their own health, and so they are content to stay in the pleasure trap.
Whether that's enough for you, is really up to you. But I think there is wonderful health gains available to people (no matter what their scale weight) who genuinely want to get out of the unnatural world of SOS-laden food. So if you're game, please give your body ample time to adjust to your new choices.
I DO eat SOS-free, and do not regret it, and would not go back. So perhaps you will have the same results???

I have a instant pressure cooker, it cooks everything just fine. The alternative is to get a slow cooker but I prefer the speed of the pressure cooker !. Help!
Also any advice on seasoning lentils and beans? I'm trying to avoid SOS (salt oil and sguar). =) Thanks!
