Wilderness Cooking

Hey fellow backpackers!

I just found another awesome resource for backpacking recipes: Wilderness Cooking. It has a bunch of recipes any backpacker can make easily for their trek. I’m talked to the owner, and she is a true outdoorsman. She has created all the recipes herself and has even published a backcountry cookbook. Be sure to check out www.wildernesscooking.com! Thanks you guys!

Lemony Yellow Lentils and Rice

1/4 cup instant rice
1/4 cup (cooked and dehydrated) yellow lentils
1/2 teaspoon vegetable bouillon powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 packets True Lemon
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

At home: combine all of the dry ingredients in a zip lock bag.

In camp: add enough hot water to cover (about 1/2 cup).
Let stand for 5 minutes or until the lentils and rice are tender. Makes 1 serving

Note: This would also be very good with a pouch of salmon added.
