I think you can do a lot more than a single dish. Learning how to peel common vegetables, boiling a pan of water, baking a potato, boiling/frying an egg, making a really simple tomato sauce and boiling pasta could all be taught in an hour. If you can make a basic pasta + sauce, bake a potato and prep some vegetables you can start cooking lots of other things as the skills are transferable.
