Using frozen ingredients is a great way to prep for a picnic as the ingredients usually come pre-chopped, pre-portioned and de-boned for ease – so you won’t need the skills of Jamie or Nigella to whip something up. So go on, grab your blankets and baskets out of the cupboards and let’s picnic with frozen food!

Salads

We all love a good ol’ salad. It’s a great picnic staple that can be prepared in advance, stored in an air-tight container and chilled until needed.  We’ve got a great recipe from Young’s Seafood, Frozen Prawn, Avocado and Mango Salad which uses prawns that are pre-portioned – see the ease? Or why not try our Salmon Niçoise Salad recipe? These two light and refreshing recipes would be perfect for a day out in the sun.

Sandwiches

Now you know you can’t have a picnic without sandwiches – they are a must. Frozen prawns and avocados work particularly well on sandwiches with a little extra salad dressing. Or why not try some of our Riverside Foods recipes such as the Chicken Pitta or the Spicy Chicken Sub, which are all ideal to make in the morning before you head out on a picnic! All these sandwiches are packed full of delicious chicken frozen with its freshness locked in, which can be cooked from frozen and served with salad for that extra crunch.

Sweet treats

There’s always room for dessert, even after a savoury packed start to your picnic. Our blogger friend Slummy Single Mummy has a delicious Black Forest Breakfast Oats recipe which can be sliced into flapjack style pieces once cooled, making it a must-have when you’re on the move (the kids will definitely enjoy this!). If you fancy something light, why not take a selection of frozen fruits in a small cool box? Frozen mixed berries make a fruity addition to serve with a slice of cake, or you could mix them with some natural yogurt for a healthy option!

Frozen food means you can be much more adventurous with your picnic choices. There are countless options when it comes to making picnic food from frozen ingredients, and once you’ve cracked using frozen food there will be no stopping you. So fingers crossed that we get some sunshine this week so we can all enjoy picnicking with frozen! Happy National Picnic Week!

The great thing about cooking with frozen food is that it allows you to choose from a vast selection of seasonal ingredients all year round, as they are picked and frozen in season. With the weather warming up, and some great summery recipes available, we’ve got a rundown of our frozen essentials for the season that are accessible no matter how confident a cook you are!

King prawns

We love prawns because they are quick to cook and great for salads, soups, pasta, curries, tapas and so much more! Feeding the family a delicious home cooked meal after a long day can be a challenge but using frozen ingredients means you can buy items such as prawns pre-peeled and pre-prepared, and only use as much as you need.

If you’re new to using prawns and not sure how to cook them, take a look at one of our light, fresh salad recipes perfect for lunch or a summery evening meal. We love this Frozen Prawn, Avocado and Mango Salad recipe because it uses frozen prawns, avocado (you can buy frozen avocados!), mango, lettuce and limes – and only takes 15 minutes to prepare. For that extra flavour, add sweet chilli sauce and serve it with toasted bread!

Did You Know?: Frozen prawns are perfect for portion control as you don’t have to cook the whole pack. Just take what you need and that way – you reduce waste!

Frozen Burgers

There’s nothing that celebrates warm weather quite like a BBQ with friends, family and hours of clear blue skies – hence why burgers are a must have for your freezer this month.

With the changeability of the great British weather, planning ahead for those precious sunny days can be a real challenge, making frozen your best option! Frozen barbeque food is becoming a real favourite with an array of choices ranging from veggie to meat and chicken burgers.

Did You Know?: Frozen burgers are not the only barbeque food you can buy from frozen. You can also get products such as marinated chicken skewers, sausage sizzlers and pork grills that can be cooked straight from the freezer! (Please refer to all packaging for instructions)

Frozen Fruits

Frozen fruits remain a favourite for many, mainly because they’re so easy to prepare and are available all year round compared to fresh fruits. Frozen berries are also much better for your wallet compared to berries bought in season – win win!

More and more people are becoming creative with frozen fruits, particularly berries, by using them to make desserts such as Filo Parcels. If this dessert is for you, then check out our quick and simple Filo Parcels with Summer Berries recipe. It’s the perfect pudding for a summer evening. You can even make a no-fuss sweet treat by piling whipped cream and frozen berries on top of ready-made meringue nests – tasty!

In addition to desserts, you can also use frozen fruits for overnight oats for your breakfast, smoothies or to make fruit sauce. The list is endless – making frozen fruits a definite freezer essential!

Did you know?: Buying frozen fruits is the ideal way to enjoy some fantastic “not in season” produce all-year round!

Jacket Potato Skins with Sour Cream Dip

The humble jacket potato breaks the mould when it comes to go-to foods. Versatile, it’s a lunchtime dish to keep you full for hours and can also be served as a teatime side. Despite its simple nature, there’s more to jacket potato making than just dashing a potato in the oven. Our Jacket Potato Skins with Sour Cream Dip recipe shares tips on making the best jacket. The crunchy bacon is the perfect addition to the soft and warm potato skins, making this recipe stand out from other.

Top tip: Some people wrap their jacket potatoes in foil, but if you are trying to get those skins lovely and crispy, avoid this approach as it will only retain steam and moisture!

Cassoulet with Pollock, Butterbean and Chorizo

This one-pan meal offers something a little bit different. Cassoulet is a wholesome meal that combines frozen pollock, frozen bacon, butterbean and chorizo. The beans are the backbone of this dish as they are very tender and absorb the aromas of all the other ingredients included. This exotic meal isn’t a dish that demands much in terms of vegetables, so feel free to have a side of spring salad. Follow our recipe for a meal that might just become a regular this season!

Top tip: If you opt for dried butter beans instead of canned, overnight soaking is advisable for better results. For more information on defrosting fish, check out our guide on how to defrost fish.

Frozen Fruit Crumble

An easy-to-make and diverse dessert, frozen fruit crumble can be eaten for breakfast or as a desert.  Traditionally a winter dessert, we love this as a spring classic and with frozen fruit you can use a mix of exotic fruits that are frozen at their peak. Our frozen fruit crumble recipe  is easy to make (and even easier to eat), served warm with ice cream or lashings of double cream.

Top tip: Instead of using frozen mixed berries, try a single fruit filling of frozen raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, redcurrants or blackcurrants.

Make the most of some of frozen food’s greatest ingredients and do something different in the kitchen this spring. Remember to check out our other recipes for more seasonal frozen food meal ideas. Happy cooking!
