Preparing a humble meal from the comfort of a camping chair (because let\u2019s face it \u2013 why would you stand hunched over a picnic table, when a sturdy chopping board allows you to sit?) and cooking it over the coals or in a trusty gas skottel brings a joy overshadowed by few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">However, this doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re off the hook where creativity is concerned. Sure, we all like a crispy <i>chop-and-wors <\/i>combo served with a juicy <i>braai broodjie<\/i> on the side, but if camping is more than a one-time thing to you, building up a repertoire of delicious campfire delights could come in handy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Here are a few suggestions \u2013 some gained from personal experienced, others fished from a mouth-watering ocean of foodie posts on Pinterest and a few suggested by friends on social media. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Tell us \u2013 what is your favourite unlikely camping dish? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Breakfast<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">All-in-one skillet <\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf\/\/42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB\/lQPb79drWOyJVa\/DAvg9B\/rLB4cC+Nqgdz\/TvBbBnr6GBReqn\/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I\/fZou\/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BDkSlBisHnD\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">Early morning #breakfastskillet ??

Once soft, add mushrooms and bacon pieces. As soon as tomatoes start breaking down and the mixture starts taking on a saucy consistency, it\u2019s time to add the eggs. Make four to six small holes in the relish and break your eggs into them. Cook until the eggs take on the consistency you prefer.

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the water. Knead, mix, flex and stretch the dough thoroughly. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 40 minutes to 1 hour until it doubles in size. Once risen, punch it down again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Prepare a surface with flour. Break off small fist-fulls of dough and lather in flour &#8211; press flat and stretch out on the surface. Use a wine bottle (who has a rolling pin when camping anyway??) to roll out the dough. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Place the pizza on the hotter coals for a few minutes until bubbles start to form, turn over quickly and place on cooler fire to complete cooking. Sprinkle the cheese on top and remove to add your unique combinations of fresh toppings before adding the final touches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">One pot pasta<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">While it\u2019s all good and well to use a variety of pots and pans to prepare your pasta dish at home (where you don\u2019t have to walk half a km to the washing-up sink), the ultimate goal while camping is to get it all done and dusted in one relatively effortless go!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The best way to go about this, is to make use of a classic cast iron potjie. Start off by saut\u00e9ing a few slices of onion. Add a tin of finely-chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock and basil. Cover with the potjie\u2019s lid and stay close by. Once you hear the ingredients boiling, remove the lid and add the pasta of your choice. Cook until al dente then remove from the coals. Serve with feta sprinkled over the top. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Dessert<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Easter-egg-stuffed-hot-x-bun<\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf\/\/42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB\/lQPb79drWOyJVa\/DAvg9B\/rLB4cC+Nqgdz\/TvBbBnr6GBReqn\/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I\/fZou\/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BDmFqymjnrS\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">?
