Camping season is upon us. I like to bring some good food when I go car
camping (as opposed to backpack camping when weight doesn't allow carrying
coolers). In the past I've done stuffed Cornish game hen wrapped in foil
over the fire. Creek potatoes are always good. I've made saffron rice over
the camp fire. Marinated flank stuff works well, too.

What are some easy to prepare ahead (or don't have to bring much with you)
meals fit for cooking over a fire? What delicious meals have you made over
a camp fire? I've always wanted to try a pizza over a fire myself, but
don't have much idea how that would work.

Tandoori chicken, marinated at home and brought chilled or frozen.

Here's a good one with pork:

Pincho Moruno

0.75 cup olive oil
2 T minced fresh parsley, or 1 T dried
2 t crushed red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1.5 t ground cumin
1 t dried thyme
1 t paprika
1 large bay leaf, crumbled
salt and pepper to taste
1.5 lb boneless lean pork, cut into 0.75-by-1-inch cubes (or not, if you wish)
or 1.5 lb chicken breasts

Mix everything but pork together. Pour it over the pork in a ziploc bag,
or use your favorite marinating technique. Marinate overnight.

Thread cubed pork on skewers and grill on high heat until done.

You can cut the oil back to 0.25 cup if you wish. I usually do.

This works great with pork tenderloin, left whole. Not having to skewer
simplifies cooking.

Warning: This usually catches fire when you throw it on the grill,
but the flames subside quickly.
