05-Setting Up A Pantry |
|
Before you can start cooking any cuisine, you must first set up a pantry. Although in the pages that follow I have used a vast array of packaged ingredients, there is a core group of items that are helpful to have on hand. With them in your pantry, you will be able to prepare many recipes in this book by adding one or two fresh ingredients, like a chicken breast or some chopped vegetables. To help you build your pantry reasonably, I have divided the list into two parts-a basic all-purpose pantry and helpful additions.
BASICS * Marinated artichoke hearts * Tomato bruschetta * Canned beans, white and/or black * Shredded Cheddar cheese * Chicken broth * Coconut milk * Chopped or minced garlic * Minced ginger * Organic lemon and/or lime juice * Marinara sauce * Spicy brown mustard * No-stick spray oil (regular and/or olive) * Extra-virgin olive oil * Olive salad or muffaletta * Grated imported Parmesan cheese * Selection of dried pasta * Basil pesto * Roasted red peppers * Quick-cooking brown rice * Vinaigrette salad dressing and/or Caesar dressing * Chunky salsa (any heat level) * Curry sauce * Soy sauce * Hot pepper sauce * Sun-dried tomato pesto or puree * Tapenade (black olive puree) * Teriyaki sauce or stir-fry sauce * Canned diced tomato * Canned fire-roasted tomatoes * Tomato paste in a tube * Balsamic vinegar * Cider vinegar * Red or white wine vinegar * V8 vegetable juice * Red wine and/or white wine HELPFUL ADDITIONS * Refrigerated guacamole * Applesauce * No-stick baking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy * Barbecue sauce or steak sauce * Instant bean powder, such as black bean or powdered hummus * Bean dip * Bouillon cubes, fish and/or vegetable * Capers * Cornbread baking mix * Couscous (preferably whole wheat) * Chinese chili paste with garlic * Mango chutney, or other fruit chutney * Garlic and herb cream cheese * Curry paste, red and/or green * Fruit preserves * Hoisin sauce * Honey * Horseradish * Pickled ginger for sushi * Mole paste (such as La Costeña or Goya brands) * Dried wild mushrooms, such as porcini or shiitake * Asian toasted sesame oil * Instant potato flakes * Peanut butter * Creamy salad dressing * Alternative salsas (such as fruit, pepper, verde, and/or corn and black bean) * Demi-glace sauce concentrate (such as Aromont or More Than Gourmet brands) * Frozen shelled and cleaned shrimp * Wasabi in a tube |
