Recipes Wanted

[Worththewait15]

The time has come to put into action an idea I've had for a few years. A collection of recipes that are favorites for camping or after ride meals. Once they are all put together, the cookbook will be available for on-line purchase and all the proceeds will go to Rider Down Foundation. If you'd like to contribute, please email (or have your personal chef email) me the recipes. Looking for main dishes, desserts, sides, salads, appetizers, drinks - whatever it is that you think makes for a great end to a fantastic day in the dirt! Thanks!! Denise

Non-Dairy Tator Tot Casserole

1 package Tator Tots

1 can Campbells Golden Mushroom condensed soup

2 cans green beans

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 tablespoon Onion Powder

½ tablespoon Garlic Powder

1 lb cooked hamburger

1 can lite coconut milk

1 package Daiya brand Non-Dairy Cheeese, cheddar flavor

Cook hamburger, season with salt and pepper lightly. Spray 9x13in pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a separate bowl mix Campbell’s Golden Mushroom, handful of the Daiya cheese, green beans, coconut milk, and seasonings (can add more S&P if you like). Add cooked hamburger and mix well. Pour into pan and top with rows of tator tots and a sprinkling of the Daiya. Cook at 385 degrees until tator tots are brown and cooked and hamburger mixture is bubbling. Enjoy!

I came up with this recipe for the hubby who can't have any type of dairy and hasnt had tator tot casserole in 10+ years until I tried making it this summer. The key for the non-dairy part is the Campbell's Golden Mushroom condensed soup, as the Cream of Mushroom condensed soup contains dairy. The Daiya cheese melts wonderfully for a non-dairy cheese substitute and doesnt seperate like some brands do.

Chili Verde

Chile Verde Recipe

Cook time: 3 hours

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds tomatillos

5 garlic cloves, not peeled

2 jalapenos, seeds and ribs removed, chopped

2 Anaheim or Poblano chiles (optional)

1 bunch cilantro leaves, cleaned and chopped

3 1/2 to 4 pounds pork shoulder (also called pork butt), trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 to 2-inch cubes

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Olive oil

2 yellow onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped

2 Tbsp of chopped fresh oregano or 1 Tbsp of dried oregano

2 1/2 cups chicken stock

Pinch of ground cloves

Bottle of your favorite Tequila (mine is Casadores Reprasado)

1. Remove papery husks from tomatillos and rinse well. Cut in half and place cut side down, along with 5 unpeeled garlic cloves, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place under a broiler for about 5-7 minutes to lightly blacken the skin. Remove from oven, let cool enough to handle.

If you want the additional flavor of chiles other than jalapenos, you can add a couple Anaheim or poblano chiles. Either use canned green chiles or roast fresh chilies over a gas flame or under the broiler until blackened all around. Let cool in a bag, remove the skin, seeds, and stem.

2A. Place tomatillos, skins included, into blender. Remove the now roasted garlic cloves from their skins, add them to the blender. Add chopped Jalapeño peppers, other chilies (if you are using them), and cilantro to the blender. add a few shots of tequila (about 1/4 bottle) Pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed.

2B. Take a shot

3A. Season the pork cubes generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well on all sides. Work in batches so that the pork is not crowded in the pan and has a better chance to brown well. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, lift pork out of pan and place in bowl, set aside.

3B. Take a shot

4A. Pour off excess fat, anything beyond a tablespoon, and place the onions and garlic in the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until limp, about 5 minutes. If your skillet is large enough to cook the entire batch of chile verde, with the sauce and meat, then add the pork back to the pan. If not, get a large soup pot and add the onion mixture and the pork to it. Add the oregano to the pan. Add the tomatillo chile verde sauce to the pork and onions. Add the chicken stock (enough to cover the meat). Add a pinch of ground cloves. Add a little salt and pepper. (Not too much as the chile verde will continue to cook down and concentrate a bit.)

4B. Take a shot

5 Bring to a boil and reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender.

Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

I did think of a recipe for your book.

Hot dog on a stick.

1 hot dog.

1 hot dog bun.

various condiments: ketchup, mustard, relish, dirt, ashes, etc.

1 stick, cleanliness unknown.

Put hot dog on stick, hold over open flame for 2-3 minutes, drop hot dog off stick into coals. Curse while stabbing burning hod dog with stick. Break stick.

Get a new stick, continue stabbing hod dog till hot dog is consumed or successfully inserted on stick.

Remove from flame.

wipe off on jeans.

insert into bun.

add condiments.

Serves 1, can be doubled

Is it just me, or does something about camping make the most ordinary food taste better?

My Chili Colorado

Ingredients

9 New Mexico dry chiles - washed, with stems and seeds removed

3 cups water

5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed off fat

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large yellow onion, chopped

1 cup beef broth

1 cup tequila ( I use Casadores reprasdo hehe)

Directions

Place chiles and 3 cups water into a medium stockpot, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes to soften. Strain into a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. Place the chiles and some of the liquid into a blender, and puree until smooth. Add more liquid as necessary to form a smooth sauce. Pass sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds and the tough skins; set aside.

Cut the roast into 1 to 2 inch chunks. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the beef chunks in the seasoned flour; set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beef chunks a few at a time, so as not to overcrowd the pot, and cook until evenly brown. Remove cooked meat, and continue browning remaining meat. Return reserved cooked meat to the pot. Stir in pureed chile mixture. Add beef stock and Tequila to just cover beef chunks, or to personal preference. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to lowest setting, and simmer for 3 hours, or until meat is tender. If necessary, adjust with more stock and Tequila during cooking.

Yes... I like to cook Mexican food

[yz_chelci]

So I totally have those hot dogs for every meal while camping...

OOhh, also.. um Jiffy Pop...which I clearly SUCk at making...

umm, we didnt eat it...

[Smacaroni]

The key to cooking on an open fire is to cook over coals, not flame. In fact, I usually push the large wood off to one side and have a shovel near by to collect the hot coals under it. Also throwing large rocks (well, don't throw, lob?) in the fire pit shortly before cooking helps because the rocks retain and slowly release the intense heat.

We do chicken and burgers a lot, you need a grill for that, the cheap ones that come with those disposable charcoal grills work great and store nicely. The rest of the charcoal grill is crap though, including the charcoal.

I like tossing old maids on a rock after the jiffy pop is done, tick-tick-tick BOOM! on 100:1 scale.
