If you're one of the many cruisers who for whatever reason do not have a fridge/freezer onboard (like us), after about a week away from a market meals become a test of creativity.

Here's my current favorite recipe that requires only two fresh ingredients: garlic and onion.

Chicken Cacciatore with barely any fresh ingredients:
(many thanks to Shawn from Tao for making this for us last year, and providing the recipe for this new favorite on Pisces)

-Chop and saute a couple cloves of garlic and a medium onion in a pot
-Add: 1 can diced tomatoes (not drained), 2 cans chicken and 1 or 2 can mushrooms (drained)
-Spices: A generous splash of white wine, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, any other Italian herbs you have
-Add: Green olives
-Simmer until rice is done.

This makes enough for dinner and then lunch the next day.

If anyone else has a particularly good recipe for cans and long lasting veggies (onions, garlic, potatoes, cabbage etc.etc.) please leave a comment with the recipe!

Sounds delicious and my kind of recipe! I'll send you the recipe for "Taco Soup" whose ingredients are all from cans. It's delicious and has 0 points if you're a Weight Watcher member. If you're not, top it with lots of sour cream!

Taco Soup:
Saute a chopped onion. Add 16oz can Turkey Chili, 16oz can Mexican Toomatoes, 16oz can black beans, 16oz can pinto beans. Add chili powder and cumin to taste. If you have 2 carrrots and/or zuchini, chop and add. Add chicken broth -canned- to desired consistency. Simmer until carrots are done and soup is hot. Your Done!!
