Solo bushcraft overnighter in the forest - making an omelette with chanterelles and ham and brewing coffee from coffee beans over a campfire.
Chanterelle is the common name of several species of fungi. They are among the most popular of wild edible mushrooms and there are many ways to cook chanterelles. Most of the flavorful compounds in chanterelles are fat-soluble, making them good mushrooms to sauté in butter, oil or cream. They also contain smaller amounts of water- and alcohol-soluble flavorings, which lend the mushrooms well to recipes involving wine or other cooking alcohols. Many popular methods of cooking chanterelles include them in sautés, soufflés, cream sauces, and soups. They are not typically eaten raw, as their rich and complex flavor is best released when cooked.
An omelette or omelet is a dish made from beaten eggs, fried with butter or oil in a frying pan. It is quite common for the omelette to be folded around fillings such as chives, vegetables, mushrooms, meat (often ham or bacon), cheese, or some combination of the above.
To make this kind of mushroom omelette you only need some ham, chanterelles, eggs and something to cook them in. First take some ham and rub some of the fat on to your cookware so the food does not get burnt. Then slice the rest of the ham and chanterelles into small pieces, add couple of eggs and stir them together. Put on to a fire and wait until the eggs are done.
To make cowboy coffee from coffee beans you need to make a decent fire. Then you have to boil some water. Put the beans in to a some small bag or a piece of cloth. Tie it together so the beans can not escape and smash them with a rock or hard wood until they are broken down.
Now put the „freshly“ ground coffee in to cups, about two teaspoonfuls for one cup. Add the water to the coffee and let it settle for couple of minutes. Then add a bit of cold water to stop the coffee powder from floating around the cup. Enjoy!
