We're vegetarian so the ultimate staple in our house is dried pulses and beans. If no time to soak overnight they can be done in the pressure cooker in no time.

Tinned tomatoes. I would be lost without them. From Spag Bol to Curry and fry-ups to pizza topping and dips they are so useful, especially in the winter when fresh tomatoes are a bit flavourless

We use lots of dried pulses in our house as we eat lots of Indian food - lentils, chick peas, split peas and some kinds that don't have English names such as toor dahl.
