I love veggie chilli, I serve it at home with wholemeal soft flour tortillas, pickled jalapenos and guacamole. What you take to camp is really what you can manage. Like many stews, chilli benefits from a day’s rest before eating so is perfect to heat up on a one ring stove. This recipe is...

Just Pitched Spanish tortilla

By Cath

July 20, 2009

Serves 4 I have been making this tortilla for years, it is a real store cupboard recipe. Waxy potatoes are a must, floury ones like King Edwards will fall apart and leave you with just oniony mashed potatoes. Older new potatoes are ideal, as they are waxy, but less work than new potatoes because...

Five-a-day barbecue

By Cath

July 3, 2009

For a carnivore, a barbeque can easily become too meaty: a sausage, a lamb chop, a chicken drumstick, oh and one of those minute steaks too – it all adds up. Ketchup does not count as one of the five-a-day. Here are my recommendations for vegetable dishes to cook on the barbecue to break...

By Cath

July 3, 2009

Serves 4 This recipe requires the larger pale, green, mild chillis common in Middle Eastern supermarkets, but I have known my local supermarket to stock them too.

Sweetcorn relish

By Cath

July 3, 2009

This relish really goes well with barbequed chicken or home-made burgers. If you don’t like chilli or you intend feeding the relish to children, omit the chilli. Start cooking this as soon as you can on the barbeque so that you can eat it with your meat. The relish will save in a jar...

Veggie curry Wednesday

By Cath

June 10, 2009

Wednesday is veggie curry night at home, as we cut down on the amount of meat in our diet. I’ve transferred this family ritual to camp. The Wednesday aspect is entirely optional but the day – being so middling, so unexceptional – requires a sense of occasion to lift it. Prepare garlic and ginger...

Salsa romesco

By Cath

June 3, 2009

Prepare this at home before the trip and spoon it into a jar to save you having to pestle and mortar until you are blue in the face outside the tent. If you store this red sauce in a sterilized jar, it can keep for ages. Salsa romesco is mildly spicy and tangy and...
