Gourmet recipes for epic camping trips

Wednesday - 4 August 2021

Whether you’re camping by a lake, on a mountaintop, or on the beach, food is part and parcel of your trip, and we certainly don’t see why you can’t eat meals as delicious as the ones you make at home! Get inspired by our easy peasy but oh-so-good recipes. Amazing doesn’t have to be complicated!


Some no-cook ideas

When you’re prepping food away from home, it’s usually a lot simpler to fall back on no-cook options, but that doesn’t have to mean eating ham sandwiches every day! Consider treating yourself to tartare—it’s a cinch to make and a guaranteed crowd pleaser! Prepare your seasonings at home ahead of time and just add the meat in at your campsite for a stunning beef tartare with capers and onion confit. If you’re more of a fish person, try salmon tartare instead!


Turning leftovers into salad gold

With cooler space at a premium, you need to get creative with camping meal ideas, and whipping up a deluxe salad out of a few odds and ends can turn out to be a handy “survival” skill! Use leftover rice, a few veggies and a handful of nuts to throw together a colourful grapefruit and strawberry love salad, turn blanched green beans into a green bean salad with grilled artichoke hearts, or incorporate last night’s grilled chicken into a salad with hearts of palm, blood orange and black olives. For an extraordinary flavour and texture combo, try our delicious and refined ready-to-eat Artichoke Hearts and Hearts of Palm salad.


Quick dips

You may be at the beach or on a boat in the middle of a lake when your blood sugar drops, but with some fresh veggies and yummy dip in your backpack, you’re good to go! Before your trip, prepare a decadent layered dip, some creamy piquillo pesto or spicy hummus with hearts of palm, then just remember to pack some fresh, crispy veggies, crackers and bread. If you don’t have time to cook, pick up a jar of our Piquillo and Almond Pesto.


Grilled to perfection

What’s a camping trip without at least one barbecue feast? Dress up your steak with a mouth-watering grilled vegetable and sundried tomato salsa, kick your flank steak up a notch with a green peppercorn sauce, or enjoy some delicious grilled chicken! To all the burger lovers out there, we can’t for you to try these incredible veal burgers! And last but not least, to push your camping cookout over the top without having to lug around the entire contents of your fridge, just bring along a jar of our Grilled Mixed Vegetables. Happy campers guaranteed!
