Your Best/Favourite Recipes

[Cael Nu Mara]

Hello Chaps,

I thought it might be a good idea to compile a BCUK Recipe Book (In thread form ;) ) for all our favourite campfire recipes, or just a good meal after a hard days craftin'! So I thought I'd kick it off with one of my favourites, normally make it the night before I go out on the hill, or into the woods to chew on wile im out.



CLAGGUM

Ingreedypants

2 Cups of black Treacle
Half cup of maple syrup
1 Teacup of cold water

Recipe.

Put the treacle, maple syrup and water into the heaviest pan you have and warm it through gently on the lowest setting. Then knock it up to the highest setting until a wee bit of mixture forms a ball when you drop it into cold water. Pour the mix into a shallow baking tin, butter it first. Go and split wood until its cool enough to touch, then pull out the Claggy till its get all pale, creamy and lovely and twist it into long sticks. Much while walking.

And guaranteed to remove all sporran fluff!

Sounds positively disgusting but brilliantly honest and unpretentious.

I still rate bread, fried in lard, and then coated with chunky marmalade but that aint going to get me a TV series!

it was my Grandmothers recipe, and maybe older, though the maple syrup is my sister inlaw's addition, she being canadian adds it to nearly everything! Mmmm fryed bread, real heart attack fodder ....

Hi Sam, there was talk of a BCUK cook book from a couple of years ago,i have just checked and its in the full members forum,Tony's wife said that if members email her their recipes,and when they get enough they will look into making a book.By the last count there have been only 12 recipes submitted :rolleyes:

It might be an idea to email her :).

Cheers Stuart.

Most of my outddoor cooking is pretty much the same as at home, but with somewhat adapted ingredients (such as dried mince rather than fresh, dried meat or hard sausage instead of fresh meat, using instant dried mashed potatoes, etc).

One of the bases I use a lot is home dried minced beef (fry, possibly with some onions and spices, place in sieve and pour a kettle of boiling water over it to get rid of the fat, spread out in dryer, dry until fully dry).

Not haute cuisine, but quick, easy and fairly cheap. Think what comes in the freeze dried bags from the outdoor stores, but home made and at 1/4 the price.

1/2 dl dried minced beef
1/3 dl dried minced onion
2-3 dl macaroni (the 3 minut stuff)
1 stock cube (for 1/2 L of stock)
spices to taste, chunk of butter, etc

* Put mince, onions and stock cube into 3/4 litre of cold water.
* Bring to a boil, adding spices to taste (or lack thereof)
* Add macaroni when the water boils
* Boil until the pasta is done.

Alternate version 1: Lappskojs (or ersatz shepards pie). Use instant mashed potatoes instead of the macaroni, adjusting water as needed. Real lappskojs is made with meat finely chopped and freshly boiled potatoes mashed just before mixing.

Alternate version 2: Risotto. Guess what; rice instead of macaroni. Adjust water, etc.

Good idea for a thread.
OK, here's my version of a spicy chicken noodle soup.

You need:
1 packet of spicy chicken noodles (or a packet of ordinary chicken noodles, plus chilli flakes)
a handful of frozen peas
some chopped spring onions
some left over chicken from the sunday roast

I'm sure you can work out how it's done - cook the noodles as per instructions, then for the last few minutes add the rest of the ingredients. Done! And yes, I know you can buy tins of chicken noodle soup, but that gloopy mess doesn't taste anywhere near as nice as my version.
