We’re supposedly off camping tomorrow for the weekend. Of course the location we’ve booked is experiencing thunderstorms at present, although the forecast is set to improve. We’ll see if we make it.
Being cooked today in preparation for easy camping meals is Puerco pibil from this recipe: http://www.gourmettraveller.com.au/recipes/recipe-search/feature-recipe/2011/8/puerco-pibil-yucatan-pickles-and-gorditas/ sans gorditas. I’ve purchased some flour tortillas that will probably be horrible as most in New Zealand are. That’s how we ‘rough it’ camping. If the tortillas are truly revolting we’ll add the pork to ‘quicksies’ which I think are called jaffles outside of NZ. Or we’ll rustle up some sort of bean dish or lettuce wrap. Pork is forgiving and flexible.
Also to be cooked is an Ottolenghi caramelised garlic tart. I have lots of garlic and cream to use so it sounds like a good idea. The tart has been mentioned in the favourite epic recipes thread: What are the most favorite epic recipes in your rotation? and I found an unofficial recipe here: http://www.weeknightgourmet.com/vegetarian-entree/plenty-caramelized-garlic-tart/
If we can manage saving the above items for camping meals tonight’s dinner will be a hot and sour soup.
