One Pan food

[Scots_Charles_River]

Just been making some one pan food.

Potatoes, small, boiled 5 mins before ready add finely shredded green cabbage, add basil, curry powder and olive oil.

Tasty !

Any others ?

One tin of stewed steak in gravy, add carrots, peas, leeks and spuds. Add half a pint of beef stock and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.

Or

One chopped chorizo or salami, a couple of hand fulls of rice, half a diced onion, sliced or grated ginger and one pint of veg or beef stock. Cook gently until the rice is done, add more stock if required though.

Sounds good, but I'm a veggy !

On my recent spey trip over 2 nights we had basic pasty stuff, my bro is a picky chap, but loved the day time tea stops with homemade flapjacks. They last ages to if kept in the fridge and a cliplock container.

I'm gonna try to make my own veggy burgers. Falafel is tasty too. I'm going to try to make a combom of those last two.

I have a grt 1st year class who give me a taster of their baking from HE classes, normally really tasty !

Best not then

I normally convert meals like yours to veggy. Normally pretty easy. My mates often think veggy sausages are actually meat ones !

PS Any trips planned up here soon ?

Yeah just looking into something at the moment, I've been trawling SOTP bloggs for some inspiration for the last few days. I've quite a few holidays left to take so I'll be looking at a long weekend sometime in the next three or four weeks.
I was planning on a quiet trip to see the beavers but it seems they've all gone awol or the lochs are out of bounds for paddlers.

I really liked the look of Loch Ard earlier in the week when we passed, but as Chainsaw mentioned you're not exactly far from civilisation. Loch Voil looked interesting and also Katrine, trying to find possible campsites isn't so easy though on memory map.

I'm a flat water paddler incase you hadn't noticed

Hi Nick,

My mate Belzeebob and I love cooking in the outdoors and could probably post a few one pan wonders for you if you like. Though recently I discovered a great wee book that kinda covers all the basics in a good and informative way. Written by a couple who paddle a lot and understand the need for good, tasty, quick energy giving food. It's called "Moveable Feasts" Amazon link here: - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Moveable-Feasts-What-great-outdoors/dp/1852845341/ref=sr_1_1/280-2424814-4495638?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257018102&sr=1-1

Definitely worth the cash, ( I have nothing to do with the authors or Amazon Yada Yada) and some good veggie and carnivore treats in there.

Cheers
Colin.

I'd say my favourite is rosti with potato, bacon, chopped onions, and grated cheese. Good winter one pan meal. Need butter and ideally an egg to bind it all together into a sort of 'cake'. Chris

One pan cooking is a great way to get food in you when camping, usual stuff like stews and curries spring to mind ( sorry Charles, don't do the veggie thing).

Loch Ard will be quiet and allow for long stay car parking. On the non rd side it is quiet.

Loch Voil could be done and right down to the end of Loch Lubnaig.

The beavers area and Loch Sween/Faery Isles are pretty amazing. Lagoons, Atlantic oaks etc. Very quiet even in mid summer. You could leave the car safely at Tayvallich.

Curries are good, but just trying new textures and combos.

I often buy a soup and fortify it with more veg and add chilli or curry.

Just having a look at that now, looks a great spot. And just over the hill from where I wanted to see the beavers.

I'll be sending out some PMs soon if you're up for it ?

Raw soya beans are nice. A trick we used to do was to use a "nalgene" bottle as a green-house on longer trips. Pop in some wet paper with something like mung beans, wet it all down first. In a couple of days you'd have fresh sprouted shoots, that have roughly triple the nutritional value of the dried beans. They were also crispy and yummy, pop in a one pot stir-fry whith soya beans, spring onions, some freshly picked wild mushrooms,noodles, some soy and a few herbs and what-ever you can find / forage.... really good.

Hungry now.
Colin.

Nothing to beat a good pancake mix. You can do anything to it. Add savoury or sweet, veggie or meat. My favourite breakfast when I am out on a canoe trip is bacon, egg and pancake. For lunch pancake with added raisins and/or chocolate chips. Pour over condensed milk for a touch of luxury.

Any chance of a recipe Nick?

Do you mean Flapjacks ?

Nick

 

[raskusdrotti]

Yes please!

I'm gonna try to make my own veggy burgers.

Nick

Aduki beans make the best vegi burgers. I aim for a kind of dry refried bean base with extra onions, peppers and some other veg to reintroduce the 'right kind' of moisture.
