Cooking on fire Options

[chook]

So I found a new joy of cooking on an open fire in my girlfriends backyard. Anyone got good mixes such as hobo stew and such? I like easy stuff that is premake and doesn't need much tending.

I'm an expert at cooking over an open bonfire whilst drunk at 4 am on a Saturday morning

1. Tilapia, wrap in tinfoil, use tongs...they cook very quickly

2. Any sort of precooked chicken breast. Baste the fuck out of it. Some use just BBQ sauce to baste, I use about 15 different condiments - Jack Daniel's spicy mustard, Chicago Fire mustard, several different kinds of tabasco/hot sauce, horseradish, several different kinds of bbq sauce, etc. Put the chicken on a coathanger. Due to the weight of the chicken and the flimsiness of the coathanger, I'd recommend being wasted, because you'll probably end up burned

3. This is difficult to pull off due to different cooking times of dove vs. jalapenos/bacon/cream cheese, but tastes magnificent if you can cook em without em falling apart and ending up in the fire. Cut the dove meat on each side of the spine, fill with jalapenos and cream cheese. Wrap with bacon and use a toothpick to hold together. There are different variations using full jalapenos vs sliced, but I'm too lazy to explain them. This is easiest. You can stick em on a coathanger or some professional metal rod made for grilling (I'd imagine such a thing exists for sale somewhere). It's actually better to precook the dove on a pit and use the flame to heat them up. They taste badass


One word of recommendation, only cook over an open flame if you're using actual firewood or branches. Don't cook if you've drunkenly tossed in rolls of paper towels, vinyl siding, wood with paint on it, etc. It'll adversely affect the flavor and give you a horrendous stomach ache the next day
