GLAM COOKING ON THE ROAD – Camping
In the last few months I have spent very little time at home and with no time to write; I have travelled from one state to another (South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria) in a camper van with little time in between.
But while I have been away I continue to cook.
Cooking whilst camping is all about simplicity and the following dishes (even the duck) may look glam but they were simple to prepare and cook.
Peperonata/ Sweet and sour peppers
Duck breasts marinading
Pan fried duck cooked with plums
Red cabbage braised with apples, red wine and caraway seeds
Pan fried fillet of fish with lemon slices and capers
The usual favourite – pan fried tomatoes with poached eggs and basil
Roger’s pumpkin… Roger was our travelling companion in Tasmania
Radicchio keeps for a very long time and came in handy with salads – with beetroot and feta or with borlotti beans and spring onions
Funghi /mushrooms al funghetto
funghi al funghetto – parsley and garlic
Eggplants also keep well
Melanzane al funghetto. Eggplants( cooked like mushrooms, sautéed with garlic and parsley par
Fantastic! Life doesn’t get any better. Will follow your lead in our campervan in Scotland.
You will be just as cold and wet as we were in Tasmania…. And it was only early autumn. But Scotland will be just as green.
