Get ready to get creative! The recipe I have in store for you today is comfort mixed with creativity and has room to mess around with it! 3 Can Casserole! It is exactly as it sounds; grab three cans from your pantry and a base starch and casserole it up!
I want to bring a little more magick into the post today and talk to you about intuitive ingredient picking so keep tuned below if you’re interested in that and if not don't forget to stir in some love because food isn't the same without the home-cooked, loving feel.
That being said I will say that the associations I make with this recipe are comfort and ease. Specifically with today's variation I also associate abundance with the rice base. I want to take this moment to point out that although with every ingredient comes the traditional correspondences you can always add whatever intention you need that day as well as thinking about what these recipes mean to you as a whole. I'm thinking about doing a different kind of post about kitchen witchery basics, if you're interested in that please let me know in the comments below!
So, the ingredients in this recipe change every time but as per usual I’ll give you some options below the recipe. The main idea is grab one can each of a vegetable, a protein and a cream of soup and then choose a base like rice, pasta or quinoa. I’ll put the ingredients I used for this one in the list but remember that you can use whatever you’ve got in your pantry. Also, if you don't happen to have a cream of soup in your pantry a pasta sauce will work just don't add the extra water.
3 CAN CASSEROLE
* I used a shallow casserole dish (about an inch and a half deep and 10 x 8) when I use my 2 inch deep I do the same as below except i use a full can of corn)
1 can vegetable (1/2 can corn)1 can protein (salmon)
1 can cream of soup ( cream of broccoli)
Enough starch that, when cooked, will fill your casserole dish 1/2 of the way ( 1 1/2 cups rice)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional cheese
Optional bread crumbs
Optional other seasonings
Cook your starch as per the instructions to al dente
Toss into your greased casserole dish.
Drain you vegetables and protein, add them and the cream of soup to the dish and half the amount of water. Mix until everything is covered.
In an oven preheated to 350, place your casserole for 15 minutes.
If you're topping it off with cheese or breadcrumbs now is the time to do it. At this point turn your oven to broil keep a close eye, things burn quickly on broil, cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
** pro tip ** let your casserole rest for ten or so minutes before cutting into it and lifting pieces will be much easier. They will stick together after resting.
And… Bon Appetit!
So some options for you to try out:
Cream of broccoli, tuna and corn with quinoa
Cream of celery, 3 bean medley, and green beans with rotini
Cream of chicken, chickpeas, and mushrooms with brown rice
Cream of mushroom, black beans and peas with penne
Or any combination of any of these ingredients! The options are almost endless!
Now let’s talk about intuitive ingredient picking. Do you ever start using the same spice over and over again? Open your cupboard and just HAVE to use that can of tomatoes? Been eating a lot of rice lately? Maybe it’s your intuition calling out to you that that's what you need right now.
First, take some time to think about what that ingredient means to you. Was it something you ate a lot at a certain time in your life or during a specific season? Maybe you ate it on a momentous day? What feelings does this bring up for you?
And second, keeping it in mind takes some time to research the ingredient in both its mundane and metaphysical importance. Look at what affects it has on your body. Is it an anti inflammatory? Or antibiotic? And then look at what it might do for your spirit or what it might help you manifest in your life? Is it associated with abundance? Love? Maybe your body is feeling a little beat down or your ego feeling a little need for love.
And finally, look back at what’s been going on and also keep an eye out to the future and see if you experience any synchronicities.
As an example, I had a spurt of wanting to put cardamom in everything. This happened just before I started down my journey. Looking back it makes me wonder if my intuition was trying to help me gain clarity of mind and push me further down this path.
Let me know down below if you notice anything interesting when you pay more mindful attention to the ingredients you're using.
