Too much Pasta???

[Nightfall]

Cous cous, that is great stuff. Light and takes little fule to cook.

Cous cous, forgot about that.

Cheers for the suggestions I'll try and start steering the students towards some of the above ideas, quite like the idea of having my group as the best fed

Grains are great generally. Quinoa (pronounced Keenwa) cooks very quickly and is one of the most nutritious grains you can buy (check out Holland and Barratt and other health food shops). Although it's not very flavourful (nothing that some herbs etc can't fix) it's great to bulk up other things. If you want to add some goodness to what you're eating, buy yourself some packs of seeds and nuts, bung them in the food processor (watch the sesame seeds because they go a bit gloopy when chopped) which reduces the volume but gives you a nutricious add in to porridge in the morning, pastas, grain dishes etc.

I love it!

you can buy pureed sesame seeds

it looks a bit like very light coloured peanut butter with a definite layer of oil on the top

spelling varies from tahina, tahini taxini

awesomely nutritious tho :asl:

cous cous was my staple along with instant noodles. I ran out of tinned chilli beans though so I need something to go with it at uni

Sausage cake is a nice, low cal alternative.

If you don't want to make damper bread in camp you can make up the dough in advance, wrap it in clingfilm, squash it really flat for ease of packing and carrying, and then unwrap it, allow it to expand for twenty minutes and bake it in a pan or on a stone or all the rest of the usual damper options. It should last in clingfilm in UK weather for a weekend trip. Comes out like naan bread.
