Challenge to all foodies and campers: We're going camping in France with 3 other families, we all take charge of one evening's cooking each. So, I need an easy peasy recipe that will feed 8 adults and 8 children cooking on two gas rings Hmm. Can't cook here, freeze and heat up there as we'll be away 5 days in France and I won't be cooking first night so will need to purchase most fresh foodstuff there. Can take tins and dried stuff with us of course. Anything but chilli (did that last year) or spag bol...
My camping friends will be eternally grateful if I can rustle up anything vaguely edible so natch I am turning to MNers!

We had Thai curry and rice last time we went camping - just take a small jar of curry paste and a couple of jars of coconut milk and you can buy rice and fresh veg or meat over there.

Any sort of casserole thing (well, stew if done on a gas ring), rissotto, curries of all sorts. Best one pot meal: dust some meat in flour (chicken on the bone, lamb shanks, duck legs, sausages, cheap cuts of beef, probably fine with venison, rabbit) then fry till browned (do it batches if the pan is small). then chuck in various veg (carrot, onion, mushroom, celery) and spuds. Add some tinned or fresh tomatoes, stock cubes, bottle of cheap red wine, salt pepper, random herbs until all the meat and veg are covered. Then simmer for 1 1/2 hrs (less for chicken and sausages, more for really cheap beef cuts). Top up with more water if a bit dry. Alcohol will cook off so is fine for kids (my 1 year old loves this). Mop up juices with bread. Voila, all your food groups. One pan. Lots of full tummies.

Tuna Pesto Pasta - tin of tuna, jar of green pesto, pack of dried pasta. MUCH nicer than it sounds!

Puttanesca - Pasta, Tomatoes, Capers, Olives, Anchovies

All sound lovely, will certainly try them (and not just while camping). Many thanks for the inspiration.
