Sometimes it is necessary to stick to the pantry basics, whether it is a bit of a tight money week or you might not have access to a range of items – here are the Top 10 Pantry Basics Thermomix Recipes. Here are some recipes to transform some cans of chickpeas, lentils, beans or tomato paste – into delicious meals.
#1 Butter Chicken / Butter Chickpeas
If you have plenty of time on your hands but not too much chicken, why not make Butter Chickpeas? Put that Skinnymixers Spice collection to good use and whip up the famous Skinnymixers Butter Chicken.
Add some drained tinned chickpeas to the Butter Chicken Sauce to bulk out the Butter Chicken Sauce with some cauliflower and roasted pumpkin. If you don’t have any butter or cream, it is delicious using olive oil and coconut cream.
#2 Bacon & Vegetable Soup
The Bacon & Vegetable Soup has been popular in Skinnymixers for a few years now & also features in The Healthy Mix I.
Not only is it perfect for using up sad vegetables from the fridge, it is extremely budget friendly. Using only a small amount of bacon, some pasta and some pantry staples – you have a hearty, warming soup that the whole family will enjoy.
If you love this Soup you should also try the Minestrone recipe from A Little Taste of Italy, you will find your new favourite!
