In years gone by, the mere mention of long-life foods may have conjured up less than desirable images of flavourless tinned meat and soggy dehydrated potatoes.
Thanks to modern culinary advancements, long-life foods available today are packed with delicious healthy flavours and can provide many convenient baking and serving options.
Make the most of limited fridge space and look towards long-life foods when planning your caravanning meals. Here are some staples to add to the shopping list:
- Tinned tomatoes can be reduced down with lightly fried onion and garlic, and then tossed through pasta for a quick and easy dinner.
- Cannellini beans are a tasty alternative for breakfast, and can be lightly cooked with bacon, and served on toast. Tinned beans can also liven up a leafy green salad.
- Stewed or tinned fruit can be added to cereal for a delicious breakfast alternative, or served with ice cream for dessert.
- UHT milk is a helpful staple to have on standby in your caravan’s pantry.
