Trail Pizza
This is a great lunch as it takes no time to make. If you don’t mind cold pizza add water to sauce pack in morning and its ready whenever you want it.
1 tbsp Tomato Powder *
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Basil
1/4 tsp Oregano
Red Pepper flakes, pinch (optional)
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Parmesan Cheese
Pepperoni, Slim Jim or Summer Sausage
Pita Bread (8 one ounce mini’s in a package)
2-3 cups Water
Put first seven ingredients in a zip lock bag. Pack everything else separately. In camp or rest stop heat 2 cups of water and add 1/2 cup to tomato sauce bag and mix well, add more water if required. While sauce is rehydrating, slice pepperoni or sausage. Squeeze sauce on bread, top with meat and cheese. Yum! With remaining water have a nice cup of tea or any other hot beverage you desire. Will make enough sauce for (4) four mini pita’s.
Tip – Float tomato mixture in remaining heated water to keep warm, wrap bread in paper towel, put in a zip lock and float in same water to warm through.
“*” = 2:1 ratio, water to tomato powder for a thick tomato paste
Henri’s Filipino Chicken
1 whole Chicken, Fryer (cut into 8 pieces)
1 medium Onion (sliced)
2 cloves Garlic (crushed)
1 dash Good Vinegar (Red Wine or Cider)
6-8 whole Cloves
2-3 Bay leaves
Paprika
3-4 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 15 oz can of Chicken Broth (homemade is better)
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Preheat a 12” Dutch oven, add oil and sauté the onions and garlic just long enough to flavor the oil. Add chicken and cook till golden brown. At this point we are just browning the chicken. Add a dash of vinegar and continue to brown. Add chicken broth, cloves, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over medium high heat stirring occasionally. Add a little water if necessary to maintain liquid level (just enough to cover 1/4 of chicken). Cook 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle paprika over chicken during last 10 minutes.
Serves 1 if Henri’s eating over.
(otherwise probably enough for 3 or 4)
Serve over rice and grilled pineapple slices on side.
