Does anyone have an exceptional hollendase sauce recipe?

Posted: October 10th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Camping Recipes | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

I’m not looking for a link to GourmetSleuth. I can find that myself.

What I am looking for is a recipe for a quick and easy hollandaise that you have personally had good success with.

The motivation: I enjoy hunting and camping. One of my hobbies is to push the envelope of high end campground cookery. I can make an excellent English muffin over a campfire using nothing but a mixing bowl, a decent place to let my dough rise, and a cast iron griddle (of course I can make these before hand and bring them along, but it’s not nearly as impressive). All that poaching eggs requires is heat, a skillet, water, and a dash of vinegar. I can bring along some smoked ham (made from a wild boar harvested during a previous hunting trip).

What I lack in order to pull a four star restaurant quality Eggs Benedict out of my hat in the middle of the woods is the perfect sauce.

Extra consideration goes to those recipes that require a minimum of fuss and equipment.

Yes, I know I posted this before, but that was like at midnight and probably not as many people saw it. So anyway:

Does anyone know any camping recipes that involve marshmallows…other than s’mores? I’ve also heard about banana boats, and I’m thinking about it.

Simple marshmallow camping recipes that involve roasting the marshmallow(s) over a campfire, please!
or at least some other way to melt the marshmallow…
