Dinner

During our vanlife adventure in Sardinia we discovered Fregola, tiny pearls of pasta made by hand which originate from the Italian island. Fregola is a very versatile ingredient and can be used in soups, stews, salads and in this recipe made into a risotto-like pasta dish. It is one of our favourite campervan kitchen staples. So much so we brought plenty back with us! However, you can find it online (amazon), in posh supermarkets and Italian delis. Although you could substitute it for Orzo or Arborio rice, you may need to add more stock/water. This recipe can be easily adapted to suit your tastes, camper kitchen supplies and diets - it can be made totally vegetarian and vegan. Recipe from Meg, from Flora & the Novice Explorers

This little bowl just bursts with coconut curry flavours. It's quick and easy to make and use your favourite stir-fry veggies or whatever veggies you have leftover in the fridge. Our version here is protein packed and makes two medium bowls.

After cooking this, we sat and ate it in silence! We scoffed it down! So tasty! Definitely one of our new favourites!

A delicious simple one-pot Vegan chilli with pretty much zero prep time. Easy to cook on a camping stove when hiking, climbing, or even camping! Plus one put means less washing up.

Fresh and Simple Tofu and Veggie Stir Fry

Spaghetti and homemade meatballs

It very much depends on the size of your tajine and your personal taste to the amounts you use so I haven’t given amounts. This is a vegan recipe but you can add meat or fish as is often done in Morocco.

Avocado Mushroom Crostini

This vegan recipe is warming and filling, perfect for autumn.

This turned out amazing when I missed the shops and just had to make something good from what I had in.

Cooking with foraged ingredients can make a dish extra special.

This is a fun and yummy meal on the go. The avocado halves are easy to make and don’t require much to make. We bring them along in a container on picnics or on long drives.

Tuscan Ribollita Stew

Sundried Tomato Chicken

Pizza Protein Bowl

Low FODMAP Baked Lemon Sole

One of the tastiest curries we make in our van! Sophie actually said it’s the tastiest meal I’ve ever made her 😏

This recipe is really all about the timing! It took some experimentation but we finally got it down to perfection. We use one pot and a 18″ cast iron skillet to whip up this delicious van favorite.

Back home we have amazing seafood since we are an island in the Mediterranean and sometimes we crave some prawns and mussels so we decided to head to a fish shop.
