How to stock a vegan pantry from "summary" of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vegan Cooking by Beverly Lynn Bennett,Ray Sammartano
Stocking a vegan pantry is essential for any plant-based cook. By having a well-stocked pantry, you can easily whip up delicious and nutritious meals without constantly running to the grocery store. The key to stocking a vegan pantry is to have a variety of staple ingredients on hand at all times. Start by stocking up on grains such as quinoa, brown rice, and whole wheat pasta. These grains are versatile and can be used as a base for many dishes. Next, make sure to have a selection of beans and legumes like black beans, chickpeas, and lentils. Beans are a great source of protein and can be added to soups, stews, and salads. Don't forget about canned and dried fruits and vegetables. These items are great for adding flavor to dishes or for snacking on the go. Stock up on canned tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth for making sauces and soups. Having a variety of herbs and spices is also important for adding flavor to your dishes. Keep basics like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on hand, as well as more exotic spices like cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika. Lastly, make sure to have a selection of nuts, seeds, and nut butters in your pantry. These items are great for adding crunch and protein to dishes. Almonds, chia seeds, and almond butter are all great options to have on hand. By stocking your pantry with these essential vegan ingredients, you'll be well-equipped to create delicious and healthy meals at a moment's notice. Plus, you'll save time and money by not having to constantly run to the store for last-minute ingredients. Happy cooking!
