Overland Cooking and Recipes

[pabstandoverland]

I am and always have been a big fan of dutch oven cooking. I grew up in a boy scout troop that had multiple and learned to cook about every meal with cast iron. From a multilayered breakfast casserole, to chili (of course) and everything in between. The heat control is the best part of it. For example, when I cook chili instead of cooking cornbread on the side, I'll fire up more coals, put them on top and poor the cornbread on top of my chili and let that cook. That'll feed the about the entire crew I'm with.

Also, dutch oven pizzas. Great heat control helps with cooking but not burning the dough.

Another favorite would be potatoes and onions in tin foil with butter and garlic salt and pepper. Though they make a great side dish with steak they are truly best served the next morning mixed with some eggs. Gotta love food that plays parts in two meals.

Ok, will have a recepy or two here as well.
Problem, one is asian and indonesian. That is were my father came from.
So, it is called Saté, Sateh.

Well, take a good deal of sambal. this is like chilis, but in different tastes. Garlic, Ginger, and then we have a problem. Ketoumbar, Satéherbs, sugar and sojasauce.
Pork meat and scewers.
Anyway, it looks like this

I make it a lot, but out of my wrist, no real recepy.
Together with the Satésauce, which is made from the same ingredients but with peanutbutter. It is absolutely great.

Another dish is Fish very hot, Vis bedis.
Take alu foil. take garlich, chili (a lot) some small chopped onion, some herbs you just like. Close the foil and put it on the bbq.
It tast great.

It is called barbecue in Philippines. The recipe is garlic, vinegar, pepper, soy sauce, lemon, pork and skewers. Mix all ingredients and put in the ziploc then marinate and refrigerate overnight. The nxt day use the skewers. You can use chicken also.

Not a meal, but my favorite hot drink is hot chocolate with powdered Ghost or Reaper peppers and a pinch of cinnamon, but you could sub cayenne for the superhot stuff. The hot drink paired with the capsacin really warms you up.

In my humble opinion, nothing beats breakfast casserole ... Plop it on the plate and go to town on it or roll it up in a tortilla and have breakfast burritos.

Decided to end my last adventure with smoking a whole chicken. Good call. It's a good way to make all the other camper jealous, lol.

What did you use ?

What did you use ?

I use one of these and a portable propane grill. Works as good as my gas smoker at home. Works will pellets and wood chips. Pellets work better because I can pack more in there.

Love my GSI pressure cooker. Saves fuel and makes everything tender.

I love this when I have a cold.

Had a good time reading this thread- thought I'd resurrect with a few recent successful meals we've made.

First is personal pizzas on the Coleman oven. Used naan bread, a jar of pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheese. Very quick and tasted great:

I also found that many grocery stores sell a small "tub" of veggies for stirfry pre-sliced for about $5. Steak or sausage on the skottle first then add veggies and steam with a lid. Even my picky kids enjoyed it:

Finally, I love a savory breakfast and find that defrosted tater tots make great hash browns on the skottle. Sausage or bacon first, then potatoes, and finish up with some eggs and enjoy. And I'm always impressed with how easily the skottle cleans up.

As I see your pics of the Coleman oven, it must work pretty good. I've been thinking about getting one.

I like to make what I call man burgers.
1/2 lb patty of lean ground beef, covered in several layers of bbq sauce until it caramelizes. Two layers of pepper jack cheese with frenches onion pieces stuffed in between then topped with bacon. It is so good. May not be the healthiest for you, but so good.

It's always been part of our outdoor cooking kit. Mostly we use it for baking biscuits or cinnamon rolls (the tube kind you "pop" open) as well as toasting bread, pizza, etc. Folds down quite small and fits almost anywhere.

Cooking is a huge passion especially when it's on a trip over an open fire. Bit of a kit junky too when it comes to cooking methods as in way too many types of stoves and fireboxes. What I take all boils down to the type of trip whether wanting to keep the weight down for longer distance trips of for a weekend away and lots cooking I'll load up all the iron work, firebox and dutch ovens for a cook fest :-) I did weight it all once and if I remember it was something like 50kg ...but man did we eat well!

Yum!!

Hey all, I am the new member #8220 to OB. I figured I would share an interesting recipe that my wife has been doing. Its pretty easy and if you are in a rush to start your trip in the morning it is quick. Take two eggs, whatever you want in your omelet and throw it in a zip lock bag, mix it up good and place it in a pot of boiling water. After 15 minuets, presto you have a nice omelet prior to enjoy a trek. Pretty simple and clean up is easy.

It's hard to go wrong with a mountain pie maker. Favorites are turkey and cheese, pizza, and apple pie.

The first night I keep it simple with fajitas.

Pre-cut veggies and put in zip lock bag.
Pre-cut chicken (beef if your @HeliSniper) put in a 1 gal zip lock and cover with marinade then double bag. I use champagne dressing. and refrigerate.
Once at the camp site this is a one pan meal and usually you wont need to use utensils or a plate to eat, depending on who is with you.
Cook the veggies then add the meat and continue till the meat is cooked.
Place tortillas on top of the veggie/meat and put a top on to steam the tortillas.
Usually from start to finish its about 20 min with clean up.

I was wondering if anyone has used the new OB Flat Pack Fire Pit for cooking yet? It looks like it would be a great multi use tool. Kinda pricy for me but it looks good.
