Without a fridge/freezer for a while. What should I cook? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm one person and won't have a fridge for a few weeks as mine died. I can't stomach any more canned soup. Any ideas for small meals I can make with shelf stable ingredients?

Canned chickpeas are one of our staple proteins. Mash them into something resembling tuna, roast them to get them crunchy and toss them over couscous or rice, etc.

Shallots are great if you're cooking for one or two people and don't expect to use an entire onion. We sometimes cut up a shallot and a tomato and saute them in some olive oil before dumping some pasta into the pan for a quick meal.

Also +1 for potatoes and gourds. They're in season and keep well on the counter.
