A couple of Winter Bivi recipes

Well the 'Winter Bivi' was massive this year (I counted 18) and the usual good fun


Usual malarky
  • Pub, cafe breakfast, coffee, etc
  • Ride bikes (not far)
  • Push Bikes (not far)
  • Bit of Banter
  • Get Wet, rained on, sleeted on, hailed on, snowed on. (~0.00001mm of snow)
  • Get Muddy
  • Sleep Out
  • COOK OFF!

So in prep for the COOK OFF! Two new recipes that can be prepared and eaten on a hillside, under a tarp, in a barn.

Baked Camembert (On a Meths Stove) - Serves 2 (or 1 fatty)

I tested this on an Alpkit MyTiMug and a Snowpeak Mini Solo (but any similar sized pot should work)
Ingredients
1 Small sized Camembert (Just small enough to fit in the pot in it's wooden box)
Pinch of Sea Salt & Pepper
Pinch of Paprika
Crackers or Bread for dipping.

Prep (done at home)
Take Camembert out of it's packaging, dispose of anything plasticy that could melt.
Cut a X in the top of the Cheese
Sprinkle on the Salt, Pepper, Paprika
Wrap the Cheese in Tin Foil (just enough to cover it
Then wrap the cheese in a bit of baking paper
Put it back in it's little wooden box

Cooking
Put about an small amount of water in your pot, about 20-30mm
Using a some tin foil make a little cradle so that you can suspend the cheese in very top of the pot, just low enough so that you can get the lid on but there should be a decent air gap between the water and the cheese.
Then stick the pot on the heat.

10mins later, lift out a perfectly baked Camembert, best eaten with bread to dip straight out of the box.

Hillside Chocolate Mousse

Quite easy this one and made cold and sets quickly without a fridge and it's amazing!

Ingredients
1 Packet of Angel Delight (or cheap alternative, I used Sainsbury's 20p stuff)
1 TBL Spoon of Powered Milk
1 Small Tin of Thick Evaporated Milk 170ml (Carnation ones have the ring pull lid which means no tin opener needed, supermarket version didn't)
150ml cold water

Method
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until all of the lumps are gone, will thicken as you stir, no need to stand it or wait. Add grated chocolate, or smashed up biscuits.
