In part one<\/a> of this post, I covered how we came to doing more of our own dinners on the trail. I shared some my favorite ingredients and resources for making gourmet food on the trail. Now I will share some of what we enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took a few favorite dishes from our dinner menu and tried to make them with freeze-dried and dried ingredients. I cook some pretty gourmet food, and have been thrilled with how the dinners have turned out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without further ado:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Trail Zuppa (Based on the Olive Garden soup) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2 servings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

1 \u00bd ounce Sausage crumbles
1 \u00bd ounce Potato Dices
0.2 ounce Sauteed White Onion
5 Tbsp Dry whole milk powder
1 Tbsp Sour Cream Powder (or 3 pkts Butter Buds)
.35 ounce (~1 cup) Dried Kale
1\/8 tsp Red pepper flakes
1\/8 tsp Fennel Seed
1\/4 tsp Garlic powder
\u00bd tsp Italian seasoning
1 packet Chicken Flavor Enhancer
3 slices Cooked Bacon (cut into small pieces)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The ingredients as I was preparing to put them in the Cook-In Bag.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I combined the first 10 ingredients in a Cook-In Bag. I put the bacon in a small pouch for my vacuum sealer and sealed it. I then added the package of bacon, the packet of flavor enhancer, and an oxygen absorber to the bag. I also put in a small card with the name of the meal and how much water to add in the bag. I pressed out as much air as I could and sealed it with my sealer. I was unable to use the vacuum feature due to the zipper seal on the bag. I store it in the freezer because of the bacon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field, remove the bacon, the flavor enhancer, the oxygen absorber, and the instruction card. Open the bacon and flavor enhancer and put them in the Cook-In Bag with the other ingredients. Add 4 cups boiling water and stir well. It takes 15-20 minutes to be ready to eat. I use a cozy to keep my meals hot while rehydrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remembered that I wanted to get a picture of the Zuppa after I had already eaten some. It was late in the evening after a 16 mile day, and I was more than ready for dinner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The kale I dried on my home dehydrator. It takes about 3 cups fresh to make one cup dried. Chop it finely for best results. You can also purchase it.
\u2022 I use Nido Fortificado whole dry milk.
\u2022 The flavor enhancer packets are available in a variety of flavors and from a number of sources. I buy them at the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
