Looking for ideas for recipes that use shelf-stable ingredients to send home for Distance Learning students to cook and eat with their families. Ideally the recipes will taste fine with the dried ingredients as is (“just add water”), but can be easily enhanced with “add-your-own fresh vegetable & fruit” ingredients. The idea is to package these with additional lesson materials, but right now I’m just looking for shelf-stable recipe ideas with low allergens.

-Lentil & rice soup with dried onions, garlic, spices

-Oatmeal with dried fruit

Other ideas?

Thanks,

I would do a canned black bean and corn salad with the option to add fresh avocado, lime juice, cilantro, cherry tomatoes, and/or seeded and diced fresh jalapenos for additional flavor and complexity.

Quinoa and garbanzo beans with olive oil is a great base for a hot or cold dish. Adding roasted or sauteed vegetables (cauliflower, bell peppers, onion, etc) fill it out really well and it's not super expensive. Sometimes I top if off with salsa, too.

Homemade Mary’s Gone Crackers seed crackers.  


Could add a can of garbanzo beans and garlic clove for making Terri’s hummus recipe with it.

There are a lot of recipes for homemade backpacking style meals out there that would work well, couscous or quinoa with spices then add canned chicken, beans, or tuna for example. These could be made with bulk ingredients and packaged for students. They could add any fresh produce or canned veggies too.

for adventurous folks who want to try a gluten free crust, they could do this and make a quiche using lots of veggies a couple of eggs and some alternative milk.
