LYO Expedition make some of the most interesting and original recipes in the realms of dehydrated outdoor food – and the LYO Expedition vegan nettle curry has long been a favourite of mine. It’s a mild curry with a creamy coconut sauce (perfect for me, as I’m not a fan of overly spicy food). It has a variety of vegetables – including, yes, delicious nettle leaves. The result is tasty and with excellent texture. The rice is perfect too.
