A Michelin-starred chef shares what items he always keeps in his pantry and fridge, and how to whip them up for quick yet tasty dishes.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"Chef Emmanuel Stroobant is the chef-owner of two Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant Saint Pierre. He also owns other F&B establishments such as Shoukouwa Sushi, SQUE and Kingdom of Belgians. He is thus most qualified to share kitchen tips, and reveals the essential ingredients he has stocked in his fridge and pantry that can be turned into drool-worthy dishes.\"\"Chicken<\/strong>
\n\u201cEveryone likes chicken. It is such a versatile meat that you can cook using a variety of methods, from grilled to roasted, poached, steamed, minced, fried, stir fried and so forth. Marinate chicken with a little soy sauce, a few drops\u00a0of sesame oil, crushed garlic and ginger, then fry, grill, roast or simply pan-fry it. Reserve the \u2018juice\u2019 after cooking and toss\u00a0in\u00a0some fresh greens like bok choy<\/em>, snow pea or broccoli.\u201d
\n\"\"Egg<\/strong>
\n\u201dYou can simply enjoy them\u00a0fried\u00a0or\u00a0on toasts,\u00a0or scrambled with smoked salmon;\u00a0they are a must to keep at all times. And if you like baking,\u00a0you can use eggs to create plenty of dishes,\u00a0from a simple meringue to\u00a0a\u00a0pound cake. I always choose organic\u00a0eggs\u00a0\u2014\u00a0they are a bit more expensive but\u00a0taste\u00a0so much better.\u201d
\n\"\"Tomato<\/strong>
\n\u201cEither fresh or tinned, it is always useful to have some on hand. Keep them out of the fridge.\u00a0You can prepare a\u00a0simple starter with sliced tomatoes.\u00a0I always prefer to peel them by dropping them in boiling water for 10 seconds and cool in ice water directly before removing the skin. Drizzle with good olive oil, a few drops of balsamic vinegar, and a shaving of Parmesan or some cubes of feta cheese. I love adding some freshly chopped herbs such as basil or chives. I love this as a simple lunch with toasted sourdough.\u201d
\n\"\"Lemon\u00a0<\/strong>
\n\u201cWhether as a base for dressings or for a cocktail, lemon is always welcome. I always start my day with a glass of \u2018morning punch\u2019: wash 2 lemons, halve them and boil for five minutes\u00a0with a few slices of ginger. Strain and cool. A great way to start your day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Pasta<\/strong>
\n\u201cPasta, or any type of noodles, is especially great if you have kids! The combinations are infinite, but a quick and simple arrabbiata is always welcome.\u00a0Heat 50ml olive oil, add two cloves of crushed garlic, fry until fragrant. Add one small tin of peeled tomatoes, two tablespoons of chilli flakes, and a handful of chopped parsley. Et voila!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Onions\u00a0<\/strong>
\n\u201cAdd onions\u00a0to\u00a0salad for extra sweetness. I also love to use them as a base\u00a0for\u00a0sauces: add them in the arrabbiata with some chicken and lemon zest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Chickpeas\u00a0<\/strong>
\n\u201cThis is a very versatile and healthy ingredient to play with. You can use them in salads and curries. Tossed with avocado, tomato, cashew nuts, some baby romaine and my favourite brand of mayonnaise \u2014 it takes five minutes to make this simple dinner or packed lunch when I go back to work at the office.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Chocolate\u00a0<\/strong>
\n\u201cFor me, this is an essential ingredient! Bring 50ml cream to boil, remove from the stove and add 50g of dark chocolate: this makes a perfect topping for ice cream, any dessert or to add in your coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
