Recipes using store cupboard items!

[BarryKentPoet]

My store cupboard & freezer are full to bursting and I need to use it all up to restock more sensibly!

Please help & share your recipes using tins/jars such as lentils, beans, tinned toms, jars of peppers/sun dried toms, coconut milk etc.

Do a chicken tray bake thing with tinned tons, tin of chickpeas or butter beans, chopped jarred peppers and a few herbs, garlic, paprika?

Lentil stew with sausages is one I love. My French flatmate used to make it. Green lentils, cabbage, onions, garlic, potatoes and sausages.

You can make bean salad with tinned beans onions, sundried toms and lemon and olive oil.

Your second paragraph sounds like a lovely meal. Mix all those and serve over pasta, rice or whole grains.

Then there’s chilli, ragu, lentil Dahl, lentil or bean salad, add lentils or beans to a meat mince to pad it out, make dips with jarred roasted peppers, coconut milk rice puddings, Thai curry, etc.

Lentil soup - red lentils, onions, carrots and celery if you have them, maybe potatoes, plus veg stock, maybe herbs and spices if you like them - there are a million different recipes online but they’re all easy and very economical.

Chilli would use up beans and tomatoes and be a good freezer batchcook
I prefer beef but you can make it veggie fairly easily.
But why do you need to 'use up' the store cupboard items, are they things you wouldn't usually use so want to get rid and buy something else? As most the things you've listed are things id want to replace when used. So if I had a cupboard full would just say 'great, no need to sho for a while' and use them as I needed them.

This is a recent discovery of mine and we love it! https://www.flahavans.co.uk/recipe/chipotle-bean-chili-with-spiced-crunchy-crumble/
