Hey guys and gals, after being inspired by mneedhams thread on gumbo just the other day My almost wife and I decided to cook up a big pot of our own with a few add ons. So after enjoying a great meal and gumbo for the first time in my life I figured what other great recipes are hiding in the minds or cookbooks of the other BF members?


So post up one of your favorite recipes you make while camping or when you just want something to fill you up! Pictures are always welcome as well.

Here is my deer sausage Gumbo again inspired by mneedham

1 large red onion
1 medium green pepper
2 crushed garlic cloves
4 cups of beef broth
1/2 cup of butter
2 teaspoons of tabassco sauce
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
2 bay leaves
1 package of okra (forget exactly how big it was)
1 medium can of small sliced tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
1 medium can of corn
3 deer sausages cut into rounds

put it on some rice and enjoy with some nice warm naan bread



so show me what you got
 
Damn. Have to try and pry the old man's chili recipe out of him and post it here. Best chili in the known universe. He also fries a mean catfish. Too bad he's mean as a rattlesnake with a sore tooth and probably won't give up the recipes.

HAHAH, you BOUGHT your moose meat! j/k

This is my favourite one pot dish.

Rustic Bean Stew

Ingredients for 4

8 high quality Sicillian or Toulouse Sausages
8 rashers streaky bacon chopped up. (smoked or unsmoked, choice is yours)
1 medium onion finely chopped
4 ripe tomatoes, chopped, or a tin of tomatoes
2-3 tins of harricot or butter beans, drained (depends how hungry you are)
2 (more if you want) cloves of garlic finely chopped
Good splash of red wine
Light Olive oil for frying
Extra Virgin Olive Oil to dress the dish
Fresh herbs of choice or omit


This is a 1 pot dish, so I would use a large heavy saucepan that can hold all the ingredients.

Heat the pan and add a little drizzle of oil. Lightly brown the sausages for a couple of minutes and remove.

Add a little more oil, fry the bacon until lightly crisp. Reduce heat and add onion and garlic. Fry gently until the onion is translucent and soft. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the red wine and deglaze the pan. Turn heat back up and bring to the boil to evaporate the alcohol.

Add the tomato and beans. Depending on how dry the mixture is, you may need to add a little water. Bring back to boil, add the sausages back to the pan, reduce heat, lid on and gently simmer for 20 minutes.

When cooked, add the herbs and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with some crusty bread.
