4 One Pot Recipes for Camping and Vanlife
The One Pot , you know?
The One Pot is a cooking technique that consists of cooking all the ingredients of a dish in the same saucepan/frying pan/casserole.
The first One Pot recipes popularized (especially on social networks) were pasta dishes. But in the same idea, you can also prepare rice, lentils or quinoa!
You can imagine that the all-in-one One Pot preparations are perfect for vanlife and camping... Indeed, these camping recipes allow you to prepare meals easily without the need for a lot of utensils and above all... they allow you not to having to do too much washing up once the meal is over (and therefore not using too much water!).
Personally, we love… A saucepan and you're done! ;)
