A pantry full of cans is a kitchen full of possibilities. If you want to know what the top 5 of can essentials is, you are in the right place.
We've been looking down on canned food for no reason, it can be as tasty and it is surely a time savior. It lasts for years in your pantry and it is ready to eat. Here's our top 5:
1. Canned tomatoes
Canned tomatoes are an absolute must. You can prepare anything from curries to stews or any sauce.
2. Beans
A kidney bean salad or chili is the perfect comfort food and it can be done only by opening a can. It's vegan, packed with proteins, and super tasty.
3. Pumpkin purée
This is my favorite, you can prepare a pumpkin pie, a soup, add it to your favorite risotto, or stew to thicken it.
4. Corn
Toss it in a salad, use it with some cream cheese and eggs for a quiche filling, or just add it to your favorite soup!
5. Chickpeas
This is my absolute favorite, strain a can of chickpeas for some hummus and aquafaba mayo. Toss some in a baking sheet and you'll have some crispy snacks, add some to your favorite salad or prepare some falafel. The choices are endless!
