2 T Vegetable oil
1 t Dijon mustard
2 t Fresh ginger root --,Grated
1/4 t Cayenne pepper
Black pepper

* For the steaks: they should be 8-10 ounces and 1-inch thick each.
Use Swordfish, Halibut or Salmon steaks.
1. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, ginger,
cayenne pepper and enough freshly ground black pepper to suit your
taste.
2. Marinate the fish in the marinade for 45-60 minutes. Turn
steaks 2-3 times.
3. Have the grill prepared with white coals and
brush the cooking grill with the remaining one tablespoon oil.
4.Grill the fish, brushing several times with the marinade, until
cooked through and opaque in the center. Turn fish after about 4-5
minutes. Total grilling time will dependon your grill and the heat of
the coals.
* To broil instead, use a broiler pan brushed with oil and broil until
center is opaque. Will take about 10 minutes total in broiler. Turn
steaks after 5 minutes, and baste often with marinade.

It's good with flounder, but any white fish will do. I've used large
cod and catfish fillets and butterflied them. Just enough so you can
roll it up over the stuffing.

1/2 c Pecan halves
PACK FOR TOPPING WHEN DONE =====
1/4 c Butter (optional)

This is a camping recipe. Assume moderate heat on a campfire or pack
stove.
When ready to cook, mix all ingredients except the butter and syrup
and let set a couple minutes. If stiff, add a little more water. If you
heat the pan well first, no oil is necessary; however you will need a
good, flat metal spatula. If I have time, I plop 3 or 4 pecan halves on
each cake instead of mixing them in. Serve hot with butter and syrup.
Can be saved for later in the day; great with jam.

Campfire Recipes 1- CAMPING IDEAS
GRILLED CHEESE---- Sandwiches can be made without a pan--use a buddy
burner if you have one or wrap the prepared sandwich in foil and place just
above the coals (cooks real fast). To make it a more complete meal add
tomatoes, onions and cold cuts or any combination of your choice before
cooking.
KEBOBS--- Of all sorts are easy to make and require no pans. If using
wooden skewers, soak them in water to slow down the burning and make
sure you can cook without holding by hand over the fire; if using metal ones
make sure each person has a good glove to hold it with or there is a proper
handle on it.
Make kebobs with wieners, smokies, sausage or meatballs. Pre cook
chicken, turkey, ham or any other meat cubes. Use a variety of veggies such
as peppers, canned taters, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. As it is cooking,
brush with bar-b-que sauce or teriyaki sauce if so desired.
RICE--- cooked in a sleeping bag. Take instant rice in 2 heavy duty zip
lock bags. Add slightly less than normal amount of boiling water, (it
must be at a full boil), add some raisins, nuts or some cinnamon and sugar,
or whatever other flavoring you desire. Zip it up tight and place in a sleeping
bag. The rice will cook in about 20 minutes. Once the rice is done, you can
add cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and nuts to make it a
dessert or snack; or you can use it as a side dish by adding butter, soy sauce
or canned gravy.
BREAD--- Add grated cheddar or parmesan cheese to butter, spread on
bread slices (french or Italian loaves sliced thick work best) wrap in foil and
put on coals or on a grate above the coals.
HOT DOGS--- are always popular but if you are tired of the usual roasts, try
wrapping them in biscuit wraps and cooking them on a stick or wrap very
loosely in foil and place on grate above fire for 15 to 30 minutes (time will
depend on the heat of the fire and the weather. To make these more fun add
cheese, onions, mustard, ketchup, pickles, bacon bits, etc. before wrapping.
If using a stick, only add a little bit or the wrap will rip.
SOUPS---- To tomato soup add croutons, bacon bits, cheese cubes, sliced
sausage; to vegetable soups ad precooked ground beef, wienies, cheese
cubes; to noodle soups add croutons, parmesan cheese, cubes of precooked
beef or chicken. Serve with crackers or cheese bread.

Campfire Recipes 2-CAMPING IDEAS
POTATO DINNER-- Take a raw potato. Hollow out the center leaving
about 1/2 inch all the way around with skin attached. Fill the center
with spiced hamburger with a bit of tomato sauce or use sausage
pieces. Wrap tightly in foil and place on coals. Serve with cheese or
garlic bread and a salad or some steamed or canned veggies. To
steam veggies, slice thinly and make a foil pack and add a little water;
seal and place on or over hot coals. Check after a 1/2 hour. Potato will
take about an hour.
ONION SKIN HAMBURGER-- Cut a large onion in half cross-wise and
remove most of the center, leaving about 3 or 4 layers. Mix up a
hamburger mixture of your favorite seasonings and press into the
hollowed out onion skin. Place directly on the coals for about 20 to 25
minutes.
BREAD CUPS--- Use a stick that is about 3 inches across, wrap in foil,
grease foil and form biscuit mix or bread dough around the end of the
stick and cook over the fire. Remove from stick carefully when done
and serve anything you like in the cup; chili, creamed chicken,
creamed tuna stew, etc.
CREAMED CHICKEN-- use cream of chicken soup with 1/2 can of
milk/water and using precooked chicken chunks.
CREAMED TUNA-- using cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1/2 can
milk/water and a can of drained tuna. Add canned veggies (drained)
to the mixture. You may have to add more milk/water to make it of
stew consistency.
CANNED stew or chili is also good served in the cups.

Campfire Recipes 3--CAMPING IDEAS
EGGS IN A NEST Using a buddy burner, hollow out a piece of bread,
butter the bread, place on burner and crack an egg into the hollowed
area and cover with foil, flip when ready if desired. If you want
sausage, cook it first then you won't have to butter the bread.
BACON AND EGGS Using a paper lunch bag, place 2 pieces of bacon in
bottom of bag. Crack 1 egg on top, roll down bag tightly; poke stick
through bag and hold over fire. Bag will not burn. It will take about 5
minutes to have bacon and eggs. DO NOT ADD EXTRA BACON AS THE
GREASE WILL CAUSE THE BOTTOM TO FALL OUT OF THE BAG. At the
same time make toast by sticking a piece of bread on the end of stick,
turn as necessary.
BAG OMELETTE---- Use a good quality ziplock type bag. Break 1 to 3
eggs into the bag, add a tablespoon of milk per egg, add cheese,
bacon bits, peppers, onions, mushrooms or whatever you like in an
omelette to the bag. Close the bag tightly, much all together and drop
bag into boiling water (water should be at a full boil. It will take 3 to 8
minutes depending on how many bags are in the water. Can be thrown
back into the water if you find yours isn't done enough.
BOILED EGG---- Place egg in a hot cup (a paper one without the wax
coating). Cover the egg with water and sit the cup on the coals. Have
the seam on the cup away from the flames as the cup may split open
on the seam. Bring the water to a boil and boil for 10 minutes adding
more water as necessary to keep the egg covered. The cup will not
catch fire as long as you make sure that there is enough water in the
cup.
ORANGE SKIN---- Cut an orange in half cross-wise and scoop out the
insides and eat. Break an egg into the hollow rind and set directly
onto the coals and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the center is
done. 'For biscuits,mix Bisquick as directed and fill rind 3/4's full and
cook as above until toothpick comes out clean (no doughy goo on it).

Campfire Recipes 4--CAMPING IDEAS
BAKED APPLES-- Cut the apples in quarters, remove seeds and place
on shiny side of a sheet of foil. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon,
raisins and dot with butter. Wrap tightly and place on coals for 10 to
15 minutes.
ORANGE CAKE-- Have each person eat an orange by cutting a thin
slice from the top and eating the pulp with a spoon leaving the skin in
tact. (They could have the orange for breakfast and save the shells in
a zip lock.) Mix a white or spice cake mix as directed on box. Pour mix
into rind until 3/4's full, put the thin slice on the top and wrap in foil,
place on coals and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
BREAD ON A STICK-- Have a stick about the width of a broom handle.
Cover about 1 1/2 feet with foil, shiny side out. Grease the foil well,
wrap canned crescent rolls around it and bake over the hot coals. Can
also use biscuit mix. After mixing biscuits make a tope of the dough
and wrap around stick leaving a little space between wraps. Serve with
jam or honey.
PUDDING IN A BAG-- Using a good ziplock, divide instant pudding into
portions in the bags, add the right amount of milk, close the bag and
mush with fingers. In about 5 minutes you'll have pudding. Eat it right
from the bag.
