Really easy to make and appreciated when it’s a little cold outside.
We like the recipe below but it can easily be modified, we usually take the vegetables we have at home before going out. The cheese tortillas are simple but to die for if you ask us.

Tortilla bread
Cheese

Onion
Red lentils
Spices (smoked pepper & cumin)
Carrots
Leek
Parsnip
Vegetarian bouillon

  1. Chop everything and put in a pot together with the bullion.
  2. Add crushed tomatoes and puree. Allow to simmer. 
  3. When you have 10-15 minutes left you add the lentils. Simmer until ready.

  5. Slice, or preferably grate, the cheese and spread it on a tortilla bread before folding it in the middle.
  6. Make two of them and put them next to each other in your dry frying pan. When they begin to gain colour and the cheese starts to melt you flip it once before taking it off.

SOURDOUGH PIZZA

WITH TRANGIA

Pizza in the outdoors made with fresh ingredients. Needs some preparation back home before going out but still a winner. We usually roll out the dough back home and put greaseproof paper in between before heading out.

75g pre-ferment
10g olive oil
130g water
250g flour
5g salt
Tomato sauce Mushrooms
Walnuts
Chèvre
Honey
Arugula
Pear

  1. Mix the pre-ferment with the olive oil, water and flour. Work the dough for a few minutes, cover and ferment for 6-8 hours until double size. We sometimes buy dough at the nearest pizza place before going out.
  2. Roll out the dough. It should fit the inside measurement of the pot, which will be upside down when baking.
  3. We usually have tomato sauce, mushrooms, walnuts, pear and chèvre on and then put the pizza inside the “oven” for around 15 minutes. Full power on your trangia gas burner!
  4. When ready, take it out and add honey and arugula on top before serving.

We use a Trangia frying pan with the biggest pot upside down on top. We also have a baking plate in aluminium foil. Thick as your little finger and rolled as a cinnamon bum before finally wrapped in another layer of aluminium to hold it together. Our fits perfectly inside the pot and the end result is a round plate. One pizza takes 14-15 min if you have full power on and we always take one of the bigger gas canisters for this (450g).
