Camping with Meat & Potatoes - Night 3





Look at this feast - Who'd think one can produce such an elegant and tasty meal in a camp. Easy!

First, you find the smallest potatoes (those not used yesterday for Camping with Meat & Potatoes - Night 2). You boil them in the smallest pot you have that fits on the small hot plate.  

Add some lemon juice, olive oil, salt and the first stock  of jardin chives, and a potato salad is ready.



You then find your very old in-door electric grill, chop some beef tenderloins into cubes, marinate in sumac, salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil, arrange on skewers and grill.

But previous meat and potatoes nights had something extra, what would go well with tonight's meat?

Ready-made, store-bought Habibi's Humus and Baba Ganoush. The best store bought humus you can find, but only buy the Lebanese Style - all other permutations are not that tasty. 

Habibi's was an excellent Lebanese restaurant on Broadway which closed-down about three years ago. 


And the most fun about camping nights is the end of dinner ritual - throwing paper plates and disposable wooden fork and knife in the fire.
