What’s a Dump Bag?

A dump bag is a prepped freezer meal where you “dump” all your raw ingredients into a large, sealable bag and freeze. On cooking day, you just defrost and pop it into the slow cooker—no extra mess, no last-minute chopping. Using Sinchies large reusable food pouches makes this prep even more eco-friendly and convenient!

Ingredients

  • 1kg chicken thighs, cut into 3cm pieces

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 1 tsp curry powder

  • 2 tsp minced ginger

  • 2 tsp minced garlic

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)

  • 2 tbsp tamari sauce

  • 200g green beans, trimmed (added during cooking)

  • 2 red capsicums, sliced (added during cooking)

How to Prep

  2. Label the bag with the name and date.

  3. Seal well and freeze flat for space-saving storage.

Cooking Instructions
