Guest pelmetman Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Colin Leake - 2013-06-06 10:23 PM michele - 2007-01-25 4:26 PM Boring but Fresh Rib Eye Steak. Green beans New potatoes .... glass of Vino ....... The Rib Eye just melts in your mouth ...... Another .......... Ciabata Bread or French stick toasted. Drizzle over if you like French dressing Load it with Rocket salad ... Smidgen of Dijon mustard Slap on the Rib Eye......... both quick and easy........... Clive can I come with you & Rick Stein there? I'm with you there lass. We've just picked up a dozen rib eye from our local butcher and frozen them ready to take when we set off for Norfolk on Tuesday. Plan is to,have some family join us for a BBQ weather permitting. If not we will take them out for a meal and eat the stakes at a later date ourselves, Ditto the Rib eye ;-)..................best cut of steak, far superiour to fillet in my humble opinion B-)............and cooked for just a minute on each side ;-)....................served with lump of stilton on top and home made Maris Piper or Charlotte chips :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolly1965 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 one pan breakfast - Fry sausages, when almost cooked add bacon, when that's almost cooked add breakfast mushrooms then add a tin of tomatoes, tomato pure, seasoning and a little mixed herbs - leave to simmer on low for ten to 15 mins. Delicious with fresh doorsteps! Thai inspired green chicken curry - Soak strips of chicken in lime juice, stir fry in a hot pan until white (not starting to brown) add chopped spring onions, chilli peppers, ginger (the stuff in jars work fine). Once fried off add a tin of cocnut oil and simmer for half an hour. Add corriander ten mins before end of cooking. Serve over basmati rice. Really refreshing dish. We often take home made soups with us (carrot and orange is our fave - Mary Berry's recipe) and home made lasagne, which is a doddle to make and freeze, ideal with a fresh salad. In an emergency we always have a Fray Bentos pie and a pack of Smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losos Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 pelmetman - 2013-06-07 7:52 PM..............but I like your other recipes ;-) You, and all the posters on this thread could also try "Two Pan Cooking" by Cheryl Foster (Armcher publications) which has some excellant recipes and all are designed for motorhome cooking. Haven't tried them all as yet but those I have tried are quick, easy, and very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leake Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just a quick tip for slow cooker users. I you use a ready made packet to add to your cooking don't waste money on products made for slow cookers use ones for casseroles at half the price instead but only add half the amount of water recommended on them. The reason being that not much water boils off so less is needed. Results taste kist the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm still here occasionally 'Chele, although I spend more time over on PMH now. Not only do I go back to this thread from time to time, I've also just bought Martin Dorey's "Campervan Cooking" (Our Co-op are doing a "collect the stamps" promo, so I got it for £3). Looks as if it'll be fun to try some of his stuff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandypowell Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 SCAMPI PROVANCAL chop a small onion and fry gently in a generous knob of butter. add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a little tomato puree and a desert spoon of sugar. cook for about ten min. meanwhile boil some rice and rinse well ( the microwave is great for this. add prawns to the tomato mixture and cook for a minute or so. put the rice on a plate and spoon over the tomato/prawn mixture. EAT (the thing is cooking in a motorhome is no different from cooking at home - that is providing you cook at home !!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfingers Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I've read all through this thread and no-one seems to have mentioned SPAM. SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM.... with Heinz Baked Beans and home-made chips - absolute heaven and probably the worst food imaginable for your health. Easy to do in a van, and carry in the emergency food box. If you want to be posh, replace the chips with sauteed Charlotte potato slices. Mind, not any supermarket own-brand luncheon meat, but the original SPAM in the blue tin. IanL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Jones Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Just returniing to The Dark Side to acknowledge that this is the most helpful thread, anywhere on the Internet, EVER. We've just thoroughly enjoyed Clive's Paella (7th post on page 1), even though it's December and England. If it was summer and we were in Agde, we'd have chilled the red wine, but after a day of Christmas shopping in Chelmsford, this recipe was the business! Cheers Clive (are you sure I can't persuade you to come over to PMH?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I do not believe anything cannot be cooked in MH or caravan that you can do at home, we prepare some excellent three course meals in the van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky7 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 One of the easiest one-pot recipes that I use is risotto. Butter+olive oil+onion+garlic (omit if you don't want to stink the van out)+black pepper+mushrooms+chicken+rice+boiling water+chicken stock cube & if it's in season, chuck in a bit of fresh asparagus at the end. Serve with grated cheese and more black pepper. When out in the sun, I've got a low wattage hotplate which is used outside with a griddle or ordinary pan to cook fish, hamburgers, sausages, steak etc. I also have one of those small gas rings in a case to do the same when not hooked up. Makes me wish summer were here already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We survived a month without any upset tummies and when we got home carried on eating curries several times a week for quite a while, home made of course nothing like the stuff UK curry houses pass of as curry.

Hi Lenny I have been to India! We went 18 years ago, for our Ruby Anniversary. I did survive, as fortunately we had a choice of European food I did not eat any indian food , and I was the ONLY one of a party of 20 odd people who was not ill on the plane , which then took us on to Thailand.My OH was also affected,, but not so bad , as he left the dining room with me, and had a burger. One guy was so bad he was hospitalised in Thailand, and lost a lot of weight (I did take some cup a soup with me , as an emergency though) Very interesting country, as long as you aviod the food!!

Tony Jones Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Well done to Faraway, for digging up this thread as your first post! It's been a while since anyone "bumped" it onto the front page, but it's always worth another look. Good to see some names from years gone by again too (yes, I know I'm one of them!)
