Choose your carb.
When it comes to making the most out of your pantry goods, carbs are the unsung heroes. Basmati rice and dried pasta are two of the most searched for pantry essentials, and chances are they’re currently hiding in your pantry. Here are some of our favourite ways to put them to use…
Gut healthy grains.
Looking for a simple yet satisfying recipe that will leave you feeling nourished and happy? Look no further than a hearty grain salad - which also happens to be the 3rd most searched for meal according to Saveful. Start by cooking basmati rice, then toss it with a variety of high-fibre vegetables of your choice (this is a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have in your fridge!) Craving a protein boost? Pan-fry some chicken breast, some eggs or a can of legumes to add a deliciously satisfying element to the mix.
Tomato-y tuna pasta.
With pasta as our star carb, this recipe elevates two common pantry staples – canned tomatoes and tuna! This is a deliciously easy dish and perfect for busy families and students alike. In just a few steps, transform simple ingredients into a gourmet meal. Dive into the full recipe here.
Crazy for carrots.
The humble carrot is the most searched for fresh ingredient in the app and chances are there's some waiting in the depths of your fridge right now, ready to be transformed into a hearty meal. With winter's chill settling in, there's nothing quite like a comforting bowl of soup to warm you up. Minestrone is the ultimate leftover-friendly soup. Try this recipe from LFHW UK, which can easily be adapted to use up whatever you have on hand.
