Title: Your camp recipies
Post by: rosscrazyelk on August 30, 2011, 06:20:36 PM: Was wondering if you would be willing to share easy meals that you cook and how you prepare them for camping,
Like one of my favorites is omletes in a bag.
I cut all the fixings at home.
onions, cheese mushrooms, Green peppers, tomatoes,bacon pieces,, etc.
I take as many eggs as I want, pick my fixings and then put it in a ziplock bag then put it in boiling pot of water until done to my liking. easy and tastes great.
Now what are yours?

But seriously I add season salt to thin sliced deer with a little bit of olive oil and marinate for a day and cook on a hibatchi over medium heat with buttery instant potatoes

Hobo-stew: Put ground beef, potatos, carrots, peas (and whatever else) on a piece of tinfoil. Spice to taste, then wrap it up and throw it in the cooler. Throw the whole thing in the fire for about 20 minutes, pick it out and empty onto a plate. If you have kids that have different tastes, put their names on the outside.

We do this as well, but I like to brown up some chicken thighs and then let them simmer in the soup awhile. Also we use milk instead of water for the dumplings

Post by: magnanimous_j on September 21, 2011, 03:11:43 PM: For camping/fishing trips on the Puget Sound:

Cioppino:
Olive Oil or Butter
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups white wine
Literally whatever you caught that day

Over medium low heat (the best we ever made was over a camp fire in the pot we used to steam dungeness crab) heat the olive oil and/or butter, just enough to coat the bottom of the pot.

Add the onions, stir slowly until softened. Add garlic and spices and stir for 2 minutes. Add Wine, Tomatoes, water and broth. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

After the base soup is bubbling and slightly reduced, add literally whatever you caught that day. We have done Sole, Cod, Sea perch, rock fish, shrimp, clams, crab, mussels, squid.

Add the fish (filleted and cubed) and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the shellfish, cover and simmer for another 5 (or until the shells open up).

Laddle into bowls and sprinkle parsley over the top and serve.

Protip: If you don't catch anything; carrots, celery, potatoes and broccoli make it a very tasty vegetable stew
Protip2: Before you eat, draw straws for a camp guard. The smell alone will draw in racoons (and probably bears) for miles :chuckle:
