4 tips for cooking when the fridge is empty
Take inventory
Open your closets and fridge, and take inventory. What exactly is left? A cube broth, some lentils, rice, cereals and chocolate? With these ingredients, you can already make several receipts. For example, make lentils by sliding a cube of broth into your cooking water. Do the same thing to flavor rice. And for the dessert, make sand roses with cereals and chocolate. Enjoy your meal !
Give pride of place to potatoes
The advantage of potatoesis that we can decline them to infinity. If you have a fryer on hand, make homemade fries for the whole family. Otherwise, make a delicious puree. If not, propose potatoes cold, in salad, with a vinaigrette, shallots and pickles. Another idea: with flour and potatoes, prepare gnocchi. It only remains to pan and add a bit of cheese. In the same spirit, fashion cakes of potatoes to accompany a slice of ham.
What dessert with cupboards?
Do you have some apples in the bin of your refrigerator? Prepare a tasty compote with a hint of cinnamon. Otherwise, simply bake them. And drop a knob of butter and jam if you have any. If you have a piece of mango left, detail it and sprinkle it with a dash of balsamic vinegar. Finally, with oatmeal and a little milk, simmer a tasty porridge. Sprinkle with sugar, add some raisins and enjoy!
Help, I have guests!
You did not have time to shop and friends arrive unexpectedly? As an aperitif, prepare rillettes of sardines. As a starter, offer eggs casseroles or raw vegetables. Take out a can of asparagus, corn, pickles, add a few slices of tomatoes and you're done. For the dish, serve a gratin of macaroni or potatoes. And in dessert, a box of salad fruit will do the trick. Customize it by adding fresh fruit, or in the absence of dried fruit and a rum cork. It's ready !
