These easy-to-prepare recipes from three regions of the world demonstrate some advantages of the well-stocked pantry. The recipes are from "The Simpler the Better: Sensational One-Dish Meals," by Leslie Revsin (Wiley, 2005).
Mexican Chicken and Rice
4 servings
Known as arroz con pollo , this skillet supper is usually tinted yellow with 1/4 teaspoon crushed saffron threads or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. Chicken breasts, chorizo sausage and peas can be on hand in your freezer. Onions and rice are kitchen staples. The only extra ingredient is the red bell pepper.

1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
