Camping food doesn’t necessarily mean sandwiches and porridge. Here are two delicious and easy camping recipes to try!
THAI GREEN CURRY
INGREDIENTS:
- Large can of chicken chunks in water, no flavourings – drained and shredded
- Mixed vegies, e.g., peas, beans, carrots – sliced thinly and steamed
- Rice – cooked

METHOD:
- Dehydrate chicken straight from the tin, and place vegies on different trays.
- Place the cooked rice on sheets of baking paper, cut to fit the dehydrating trays. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for length of drying time. When completely cool, pack into airtight bags. Rehydrate as above, add spice paste and reheat.
