    32 Survival Recipes for Kitchen Foraging

    When you’re hunkered down in a shelter or simply can’t go out to shop or even wild forage, you have to make the best of what you have. That can be a challenge when your stockpile is running low and especially if you never got around to stockpiling in the first place.

    Here are some tricks from professional chefs on how to improvise meals from some meager basics you might still have on hand.

    The Challenge Defined

    This story is about a challenge. A simple, hypothetical problem that many have confronted in the past and many more may encounter in the future. Here’s the dilemma: For whatever reason, a person or family is trapped in their house for an indeterminate amount of time because it’s unsafe to go outside.

    • A nuclear accident has occurred and all residents are advised to stay inside their homes.
    • A pandemic is peaking and people are encouraged not to venture outside. Most stores are closed and all services are limited.
    • Civil unrest has simply made the streets unsafe.
    • A severe and catastrophic weather event has made the roads impassable and any travel is impossible. In addition, many if not all basic services are affected from grocery stores to gas stations.
    • A person is alone and either injured or disabled and assistance cannot reach them.

    It’s a set of desperate survival challenges that would require multiple solutions, and one of those solutions is related to food. But for many, that can emerge as one of their greatest challenges. There are always delivery options through companies like Amazon and others, but if no one else can travel, those options may be out of reach.

    Prepared or Not?

    Some people are prepared and have a sufficient stockpile of supplies and equipment to weather the disaster. Others are caught off guard and are confronted with limited resources. But even the prepared family may find that their supplies are running short if the disaster is of long duration and travel is impossible. The end result is that something as basic as finding and making something to eat becomes a growing challenge if not a major threat to continuing survival.

    How Our Pioneer Ancestors Prepared

    Pioneer Grubstake

    As pioneers traveled across the plains and the mountains they transported something called a “grubstake.” A grubstake is a specific supply of food staples that could be used to make a variety of meals that satisfied basic needs from calories to nutrition.

    Grubstake Pantry

    It’s an impressive list and an accomplished cook could do a lot with these ingredients. But that was the past and for many people today the food they still have on hand when supplies run low make the old grubstake look like a feast.

    This isn’t about taking a pioneer grubstake and making meals. It’s about taking the accidental and meager collection of food stuffs leftover in a panty after a disaster and improvising meals. And it gets worse.

    And Here’s The Challenge…

    Here’s Our Last Gasp Pantry

    What’s Left Pantry

    In the real world, this would most likely vary, but it’s a plausible representation of the few things that could be left after a long period of disaster and isolation. Many of the items can be eaten on their own, as is.

    But with a bit of creativity and some fundamental knowledge of how to use and combine ingredients, someone could make a surprising range of meals. It’s also probable that there are some obscure spices still around like turmeric and some common ones like salt and pepper.

    Surviving Spices

    If you look at your own spice cabinet right now you’ll no doubt see many of these and it’s quite possible some have been in there for a while and will most likely still be around when most other things run out.

    Some of the recipes we’ll cover call for the use of specific spices, but if you like your food spicy, spice away.

    You’re Going to Have to Think like a Chef

    The hallmark of a professional chef is that they can be confronted with an odd assortment of ingredients and immediately begin to see possibilities. That’s because they can see the potential of any single ingredient as a staple food item and they understand the concept of cooking.

    When most of us look at a box of pancake flour, we see pancakes. A professional chef looks at a box of pancake flour and sees flour infused with baking soda that could serve as a foundation for breads, cakes, muffins, biscuits, cookies, sauce thickeners, pretzels, pasta, and even a pizza crust.

    And they don’t stop there.

    • When we see sugar, they see a foundation for caramel, rock candy, syrups, and an effective food preservative.
    • When we see a can of tuna, they see tuna cakes and casseroles.
    • When we see peanut butter, they see peanut butter cookies and peanut butter balls rolled in crushed cereal as a protein treat. Even peanut butter soup.

    The list goes on and we’ll get into specifics of how to take those desperate, last ingredients and combine them to make meals that not only satisfy basic nutritional needs, but actually taste good. The better news is that they not only can provide good nutrition but result in many types of food that kids love to eat.

    The rules are simple. You can’t shop. You can’t go out and pick something from the garden. You can’t even wild forage. All you can use as an ingredient is what we’ve listed. For anyone, a list like this may be different than what you actually end up with as you endure a long-term disaster, but the idea is to think about how an odd assortment of very few ingredients can actually come together to make a decent meal.

    Will It Taste Good?

    Will It Taste Good?

    Actually, yes. Some of these recipes are the same recipes you would put together in a fully stocked kitchen. Others use various substitutions and while it may not taste like mom used to make, they still taste good. Here are some ideas based on what’s left in our survival pantry:

    Pancake Flour

    Pancake flour is basically flour with the addition of baking powder. Some varieties have additional ingredients like powdered milk and powdered eggs, sugar and salt. It doesn’t matter. The basic combination of flour and baking powder lets you do a lot of things with pancake flour.

    One of the keys is proportions of the pancake flour to the water. If you add enough water to make a batter you’ll get pancakes. By reducing the amount of water you’ll get a consistency closer to a dough.

    Pancake Flour to Dough

    This allows the pancake flour to develop as biscuits, bread or flatbread and even dumplings.

    Tortillas

    If you roll out the dough very flat you’ll get a very good approximation of a flour tortilla that you can cook on a skillet.

    The whole idea is to avoid adding too much water and ending up with a batter. If you do that, you’ll get pancakes and we have a recipe variation for that as well.

    Here are some pancake flour recipes to try:

    Biscuits (makes 15)

    Ingredients:

    1. Shape into 6 dumplings.
    2. Place in stew or soup.
    3. Cover for 20 minutes.

    Peanut Butter

    Peanut butter is another frequent survivor in many pantries. It’s another excellent source of protein and because of its consistency, can be easily used in a variety of recipes from pancakes to peanut butter soup and classic peanut butter cookies.

    Peanut butter is also high in calories and while that may be something we try to avoid in good times, calories are key in a survival situation.

    Peanut Butter Recipes

    Cookies

    Ingredients:

    • 2 1/2 cups of pancake flour
    • 1 cup of sugar
    • 1/2 tsp of salt
    • 1 cup of peanut butter
    • 1 cup of oil

    Directions:

    1. Mix all ingredients.
    2. Mix and roll into balls.
    3. Flatten with fork.
    4. Bake at 375° F for 10 minutes.

    Protein Balls (makes 16)

    Ingredients:

    1. Use two spoons to shape peanut butter into 1/2 inch balls.
    2. Roll in cereal and serve.

    Peanut Butter Soup (makes 4 servings)

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups of peanut butter
    • 2 cups of water
    • 1 tsp of salt
    • 1/2 tsp of pepper

    Directions:

    1. Combine ingredients and heat pot.
    2. Stir over medium heat.

    Directions:

    1. Mix all ingredients and cook on skillet.
    2. Top with caramel sugar syrup.

    Cereal

    A box or two of cereal can let you do a lot of things. You can crumble it, crush it, or reduce it to a powdery flour and add it to your pancake flour to stretch it.

    You could use it as a breading for fish or anything else, and it can even make a decent loaf of bread when added to pancake flour, although you’ll end up with a loaf that has more of a pound cake consistency rather than the texture of a traditional yeast bread.

    Poundcake Consistency

    We’re going to tough it out and pretend we don’t have any yeast and see how we do. And yes, you can just eat the cereal. But remember—there’s no milk.

    Pancake flour and crushed cereal can also be used to thicken a stew or soup. Mix it with a little oil first and it will incorporate easily without lumps. As the soup or stew simmers, it will thicken. How thick depends on how much pancake flour or crushed cereal you add. Start with a teaspoon if you’re trying to thicken something and go from there.

    Cereal Recipes

    Bread (makes a 1-pound loaf)

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup of pulverized cereal

    Directions:

    • Mix, knead, roll out.
    • Top with tomatoes, tuna, and beans.
    • Bake at 375° F for 15 to 20 minutes.

    Beans

    Beans always seem to be one of the last things left in the pantry regardless of the circumstances, and that’s a good thing. Whether they’re canned or dry and in a bag, beans can be used in a variety of forms from whole to mashed to reduced to a paste as an ingredient in a range of recipes.

    The thing to remember is to “think outside the bean.” Pureed beans with a little oil and spices make a hummus out of any bean. Mashed beans are the foundation of refried beans; make a decent bean burger, and can be spread on anything from rice buns to flatbread to tortillas. The ability to look at any type of food and see its potential in a different form is the key to surviving with few resources.

    Beans are also an excellent source of protein adding to the nutritional benefits of any meal.

    2. Form into a loaf.
    3. Bake at 325° F for 40 minutes.

    Rice

    We’re going to assume there’s a good chance you still have some rice in your post-disaster pantry. If you do, you’re in luck. Cultures around the world have subsisted on rice since the day it was harvested for the first time. Nutritionally, its primary benefit is calories from carbohydrates. The good news is that it’s a primary foundation ingredient for other ingredients to make a meal.

    You could also pulverize rice to a powder to make rice flour; cooked and fried in oil in a skillet with your homemade soy sauce to make fried rice, or even add cooked rice to a bread recipe to further extend your available supplies. The trick is to experiment and improvise and if you don’t like the taste, add some salt and sugar.

    Rice Recipes

    Rice Bowl (makes 4 servings)

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups of rice
    • 4 cups of water
    • Toppings

    Directions:

    1. Cook rice.
    2. Place in bowls.
    3. Top with beans, tomatoes, tuna, and survival soy sauce.

    Survival Soy Sauce

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup of water
    • 1 TBS of salt
    • 2 TBS of caramel

    1. Over medium heat, reduce caramel to a deep brown.
    2. Add water and salt to caramel.
    3. Stir to dissolve.

    Rice Buns

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups of cooked rice
    • 1 TBS of oil

    Directions:

    1. Roll out cooked rice to 1/2 inch thick.
    2. Use a bowl to cut circles.
    3. Gently fry rice in oil in a skillet.
    4. Use as a bread substitute.

    Rice and Beans

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups of cooked rice
    • 1 cup of beans
    • 1 tsp of salt
    • Additional spices to suit your taste

    Directions:

    1. Cook rice and beans together.
    2. Add spices to taste.

    Sugar

    Regular white sugar is relatively cheap and is usually used as an ingredient in a recipe. However, you can use just sugar to make a variety of things from syrup to caramel, a soy sauce substitute and more.

    It also has food preservative properties, particularly when combined with salt, so if you do manage to come across some additional food from hunting or wild foraging, you at least have some options for food preservation without a freezer or refrigerator.

    Sugar Recipes

    Caramel

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup of sugar
    • 1/4 cup of water
    • 1/2 cup of water (you'll use this water at end of recipe)

    Directions:

    1. Boil water
    2. Add sugar, let it dissolve.
    3. Stir in caramel, let it cool.

    Rock Candy

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup of water
    • 3 cups of sugar

    Directions:

    1. Mix ingredients together.
    2. Roll into balls.
    3. Bake on cookie sheet at 375° F for 10 minutes.

    Canned Tuna

    Canned tuna is another inexpensive item and it’s not unusual to find some surviving canned tuna at the back of a pantry. That’s more good news because it’s an excellent source of protein and you can take it up a notch as a tuna cake sautéed in oil and even as a casserole with your homemade pasta. You could even use it as a topping on pizza in a pinch. Think of it as anchovies even a kid would eat.

    Speaking of anchovies, it would be no surprise if you found some sardines next to the tuna tins. Sardines don’t seem to be consumed with great frequency by most people. You can use sardines the same way you use tuna for the above recipes. In fact, it may make sardines taste better for those who don’t particularly like them.

    Canned Tomatoes

    Canned tomatoes are another pantry item that tends to survive in the back of the cupboard after other items are long since gone. This is mostly due to the fact that some of us tend to buy a lot of them because they’re so cheap and rarely eat them on their own.

    While the tomatoes can be eaten right out of the can, they can easily make a tomato soup when pureed, serve as a primary topping on a pizza both as a sauce and as chunks, and can be easily added to your beans for chili or used as a component in anything else you might improvise.

    Tomato Possibilities

    They’re particularly valuable from a nutritional standpoint as a source of Vitamin-C and lycopene. Don’t stay home without them.

    Food Substitutes

    Ingredients in any recipe affect the shape, form, taste, baking, or cooking characteristics and other factors producing a desired result. In a desperate environment, it’s good to know that there are substitutes for some basic ingredients in the hope that you have at least a viable substitute on hand.

    We’ve used many of these substitutions in the recipe ideas we shared. Here are additional possibilities for those times where you have to improvise:

     The Fundamental Idea

    If you look at the main ingredient in many of the recipes we listed, you can see that it’s all about thinking of it in terms of its primary component and how changing its structure or adding ingredients can bind it into a recognizable and edible form. You also have the option to substitute for ingredients if you have other items on hand.

    None of this is Rocket Science.

     It’s all about looking at the potential of basic and limited ingredients and thinking about how they can be used to make a meal. In a perfect world, we would have more than a scattering of these meager ingredients.

    In fact, this exercise may be enough for some of us to really think twice about what and how much we may stockpile and store. The important thing is to know how to make the best of the least and hopefully get through the worst.
