Sick of being the lone vegetarian with no good recipes to cook while camping? Look no further! Here are a couple that are perfect for you!
Angel Hair Pasta and Veggies
- Angel hair pasta or another kind of pasta
- Olive oil (extra virgin)
- Garlic
- Tomatoes
- Broccoli or another vegetable
- Basil, herbs
- Shallots
This dish is very simple — you can cook enough pasta for the amount of people in your party. Cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente (not completely soft). From there, you cook your vegetables by heating the olive oil in a pan and adding the minced garlic, and the the shallots. Remove from the heat and toss the oil in the pasta, then adding the finely chopped basil, tomatoes and broccoli. Very filling and simple.
Beans on Toast
- 1 can of baked beans
- Bread
- Butter
- Some brown sauce
This is a simple dish that is perfect for breakfast. Basically you just toast the bread, cook the beans and smear the beans on the toast (which has been buttered). Add some brown sauce and enjoy! Filled with fiber and protein — great before a large hike, too!
Black Bean Burritos
- Torilla shells that are the size of soft taco shells
- Dried black beans
- Taco sauce packs
- Cheddar cheese
- Peppers
First you must cook the beans. There are many different ways to cook beans, but we’ll do the quick cook for this recipe. Boil the water in a pot and add beans. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Warm your shells and add the beans to them, adding cheese, peppers, some taco sauce and whatever else you can find. Remember to not cook the beans, just let them sit, you don’t want them to stick all over your pan for a difficult clean up! You can also make variations on this recipe by making quesadillas or using other kinds of beans.
