Firepot has been three years in the making. As adventurists trekking through Greenland, they wanted their hikes to be punctuated by slow-cooked, natural food that tasted delicious. Firepot wanted a healthy, hearty meal that didn’t weigh them down or keep them waiting. And we couldn’t find it anywhere. So they made their own in a Dorset barn — delicious, nutritious, dehydrated slow-cooked meals inspired by their travels. Firepot have kept it lightweight and easy to use so it can be enjoyed from the heights of the Himalayas to the fjords of Chile.
Five kinds of lentils, simmered with onion, garlic, cumin and chilli. Combined with basmati rice, spinach and garam masala, finished with chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice.
The search for the perfect lentil. Firepot love the simplicity of dal. Healthy ingredients that pack a warming punch. The secret to a good dal is in the lentils — holding enough shape to provide a crunch, with a softness that fills your mouth with flavour. They tested every type of lentil they could find, cooking dal after dal, looking for one that worked. But they soon realised no single type could provide everything they wanted — so they chose five. Together they give the right blends of texture and flavour, with the ability to soak up all that spice. Combined with aromatic basmati rice and crisp, green spinach, Firepot’s dal is guaranteed to leave you feeling full and satisfied, with a heat that’s comforting but not too hot. Perfect for those cold nights on the mountains.
These bio meals must be cooked in a pan, not in the bag.
