Some really yummy dishes can be created from ingredients that do not need to be refrigerated.
This meal has some simple but really tasty elements.
Roasted butternut squash & Cavolo Nero, served with vegan ‘cheesy’ mash & Mango, lime & chilli dressing
The ultimate comfort food and this recipe is bursting full of rich zingy flavour that will leave you drooling away whilst it bubbles away on your van stove.
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 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.
