Sunshine Coast Trail and trail cooking recipes

Friday, May 31, 2019, 09:16 PM – Outdoor adventure

I’m about to hike the Sunshine Coast trail. It’s a long way to go to be carrying heavy food so have been investigating and calling up my favourite camping recipes. A friend Alexi is also starting a kayak company in Cape Breton (stay tuned!) and we were talking about backwoods recipes so here are some to try:

– Spicy red lentil and spinach soup
– Couscous with sun-dried tomatoes and smoked mackerel/herring
– Bulgar, black beans, veggie meal, chocolate chile (thanks Oliver and Karen!)
– Buckwheat soba noodles, sesame oil, lime, soya sauce, seaweed, dehydrated mushrooms, ginger
– Minestrone veggie soup with bacon/quinoa and parmesan
– Aloo Gobi
– Pasta with lemon zest, olive oil, Spanish green olives, parsley, bread crumbs
– Pasta aglio olio with parsley and parmesan
– Baked stuffed potatoes in foil in the fire
– Rice, fenugreek seeds, coconut powder, onions
– Oatmeal with cinnamon, flax, chia, nuts, and dried mango or berries

I’m going to try my hand at dehydrating some of the veggies in the oven but the nice thing about these recipes is that, even fresh, these ingredients keep well and are pretty light.
