Pantry ingredients to go with it

Nutella
A luscious, velvety spread that combines the rich taste of cocoa with the sweetness of hazelnuts, Nutella is a pantry staple that brings a touch of indulgence to any moment.
Gravy Mix
A cozy, golden powder that transforms into a velvety, savory sauce with just a splash of liquid. Each spoonful holds the promise of comfort and warmth, evoking memories of hearty meals and festive gatherings.
Carrots
Carrots are crunchy, slightly sweet root vegetables known for their vibrant orange color, though they can also be found in purple, yellow, and red varieties. Packed with nutrients, they are a staple in many cuisines.
Rutabaga
Rutabaga, often referred to as Swedish turnip, is a root vegetable that is a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. Originating in northern Europe, it has been cultivated for centuries and is a staple in many traditional dishes. Its flavor is earthy and slightly sweet with a hint of bitterness, reminiscent of a turnip but milder and more complex. The texture is firm and dense, becoming tender and velvety when cooked. In culinary applications, rutabaga holds its shape well during roasting and mashing, absorbs flavors from seasonings and broths, and adds a subtle sweetness to dishes. Its versatility makes it a favorite in hearty soups, stews, and roasted vegetable medleys.
Radishes
Radishes are crisp, slightly peppery root vegetables known for their vibrant color and crunchy texture. They are a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed raw or cooked.
Coconut Chips
Golden and irresistibly crunchy, coconut chips are the embodiment of tropical bliss. Each chip is a delicate slice of dried coconut, boasting a rich, buttery flavor that transports you straight to a sun-soaked beach.
