One-Pot Lentil Curry

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of lentils
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 can of coconut milk (approximately 7 oz)
  • 1/2 can of diced tomatoes (approximately 7 oz)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the curry powder to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils, coconut milk, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow it to simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are tender. You can add a bit of water if the curry seems too thick.
  6. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve hot, preferably with a side of rice or naan bread. Enjoy your nutritious and filling one-pot lentil curry.

Chicken and Veggie Foil Packets

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your campfire or grill to medium heat.
  2. Take two large pieces of aluminum foil and place one chicken breast in the center of each piece.
  3. Divide the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini evenly between the two foil packets, arranging them around the chicken.
  4. Drizzle each packet with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing it to create a packet.
  6. Place the foil packets on the campfire grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Carefully open the packets (watch for steam), check the chicken is cooked thoroughly, and serve right from the foil for an easy clean-up. Enjoy!
