My Marine husb. really enjoys cooking these days. Marianated Octopus is one of his favorite's. He cooks and marianades it, and then needs to move fast before our son get's a hold of it. I love it too, but being much older than my 6 yr. old son, I'm fair with my share.

Husband's Tender Pulpi
• Prepare marinade (combine all ingredients except lemon) and set aside:
2 medium octopus
1 cup olive oil
1 cup of wine vinegar
1 large onion
1 tablespoon Greek oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons rosemary
• Place octopus in large pot with plenty of water.
• Bring to a boil.
• Continue boiling for 50 min.
• Check for tenderness.
• If not tender enough, continue boiling for 20 min. more.
• Recheck for tenderness, ect. ect.
• When octopus is tender enough, stop boiling, drain water and cut up.
• Take cut up pieces and place in the marinade.
Marinade overnight.

DRAMBUIE

1 tup of single cream
1/2 oz caster sugar
Malt Whiskey.

METHOD

Whisk up the cream until light but not thick.
Add caster sugar.
As you whisk, gradually add the whisky and mix in well
don't add to much whisky as it will sour the cream.
Once done pour the mixture into a long glass and drink.
ENJOY
PS. You can add ice cubes when in glass.

This is great camp food. I like cooking on an open fire with cast iron Dutch Ovens. This one always pleases, and is easy.

1 Yellow onion cut up
1/2 pound bacon cut into bite size pieces
1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
12 beat eggs
1/2 each green and red bell peper cut up
grated cheese the more the marrier

Place a 6 quart seasoned dutch oven on a pretty marm pile of coals
Cook the onion, bell pepers, sausage and bacon (yes all together). Remove the meat and some of the fat. Cook the eggs, useing some of the fat, when the eggs are mostley cooked add the meat back in along with the cheese over the top. Place the lid on the oven. Put some coals on the lid and bake for twenty minutes. ENJOY!

Yes, this feeds several people. This works well in a oven safe pot in the kitchen as well.

BTW Practice befor trying it while camping, heat controle is the key. Things can go bad quick if you don't controle the heat.

Mince and Tatties

1/2 lb beef mince

2 carrots
1/2 turnip
4 potatoes
1/2 pint beef stock.
salt
pepper

Add a little oil to a pot and chop the onion and sweat for 10 mins, add sliced carrot, and chopped turnip, and saute for another 5 mins.
Break up the mince and add to the pot, cook mince until brown.
Add your stock and cook for 25 mins.
Peal your potatoes and cut up and put in a pan of water with a pinch of salt. And boil for 20 mins until soft.
Check the mince and add a touch of salt and pepper.
Once potatoes are ready, drain them and mash them with a little butter and milk.
Serve up the mince into a casserole dish and put the mashed potato into a bowl and then serve.
Enjoy.

Cheers

Does anyone have any good recipes for your juicer? I can't digest whole fruits and vegetables right now, so I have to juice everything. The fruit juice is pretty good but the vegetable juice is scary gross a lot of the time. So if anyone has a recipe that tastes not so bad please share it!

Claire · #20 03-02-2007, 08:21 PM

Hi Batgirl, here's one for you, I know what you mean with veggie juices! but these taste pretty good:

1 carrot, 1 orange, 7oz beetroot

another is juiced carrots mixed with apple juice. I find adding a little water makes them easier to digest sometimes.

and tomato and orange (not so keen on this one though)

I've been experimenting making my own mixes. Apple and white grape are good fruit juice to mix with and then add sweeter vegetables to them. I'm going to experiment with adding some spinach and broccoli to apple. Lets work some out together! I'll post my results.
