OK, the meats went well,
What's every bodies favourite CO veg & how do you like it???

for me it's spuds & carrots cut into serve sizes, lightly sprayed with oil & tossed with some mixed herbs & spice, done in a dry CO.
soft veg in another CO,
Cauliflour, Brocoli & corn on the cobb, a light spray of oil & into a dry CO.
Back it up with a potato bake in another oven & youv'e got a feast!!

I'm not sure I actually have a favorite. Anything that will bake boil or steam is all good although nice crispy baked spuds take a lot of beating.

Like Derek I don't have a firm favourite, baked spuds or a bit of baked pumpkin and some cauliflower are hard to beat.
Bought some potatoes in a shop at Forbes last year called "Red Rascal", red skin and cream coloured flesh, they were so good I went back a few days later to get some more, yep you guessed, all gone and no more coming.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Baked turnips or swedes. Huh

Usually have these as an accompaniment to lightly curried feral goat testicles served on a bed of steamed brown rice. Roll Eyes

This is a dead set camping in the bush meal. You will not have any trouble with normally welcome intruders to your sleeping bag, guaranteed. Embarrassed

Seriously though, I reckon a baked dinner has to have parsnips and/or horseradish. They, after kipfler potato's, would be my CO cooked favourites.

life is a bed of gidgee coals and a camp oven

Don't stand too close to the fire.

We do swedes (orange sweet potatoe), wrapped in alum foil, shiny side out and into the coals. Dash of butter when done. Cheesy

Mick.

A little translation please, what are red rascalls?

Mick, here is one:

Chicken Tomato & Wine By The Serving

Diced Raw Chicken
Stewed Tomatoes (home made preferred)**
White Wine/Tomato Wine
Sliced Onion
1/3 c. Cucumbers diced in 1/4" pieces
1 tsp. Dried basil
Garlic Powder/Garlic Salt to taste

It’s easier to cut chicken in to bite sized pieces if it is partially frozen. Set aside. Cut onion(s) in half, then 1/4" slices across, saute until flexible. Add wine, 1/4 cup per person. Simmer 10 min. Add stewed tomatoes*, stir, and warm. Add chicken. Cover. Cook 10 min. When chicken looks light on all sides, Add diced cucumber (1/4 cup per serving). Add basil. Simmer. Taste. Add garlic powder or garlic salt to taste.

* if stewed tomatoes lack celery, onion, carrot, or parsley, you may want to add them to the stewed tomatoes as a pre-dish preparation exercise.

10" cast iron frying pan with matching lid is an in house cooking utensi when cooking for one, but this is one that can also be cooked in a Dutch Oven outside over coals.

** If anyone wants my home grown stewed tomatoes recipe, I can just about do that blind folded.

Skip do you do your baked beans from scratch?
