We’ve got some family issues – brother in hospital – and I won’t be able to do much on the thread this week. But here’s a link to a very beautiful ‘nachos’ preparation, from Almazan Kitchen. While we don't make them in this same elaborate way - or out in the forest! - Nachos (or Tacos) are among our favorite fast, go-to weeknight dinners:

Don’t have a lot of time over the coming week – but here’s a nice video on forest-created Nachos.
Carry on.

Prayers for your brother. Love those Almazan episodes!
Maybe people could share what they have cooked over a fire. BBQ included. Other than the typical I have done pizza on the grill, crust first. Doesn’t take more than a coupe of minutes and it is nice and crunchy, if you like it that way. We have a nice firepit and I keep thinking I should get a small dutch oven. We’ve done some foil packet meals, works great with fish or chicken.
Thank You. He’s been in the hospital for almost two weeks, but tonight he seemed to be doing much better. We’re preparing to bring him home.
Lard! Definitely some food porn there. Looks delish. And crunchy.
I think AlmazanKitchen is probably the premier ‘food-porn’ site :-)
I had never heard of it before. Fun.
i’m a bit prepper-crazed, both because i want to learn how to survive should our world change radically, but i also enjoy living a simple self-sufficient lifestyle.
All that was a preamble so i don’t sound totally nuts talking about your topic of cooking over fire, lol!
The one thing I wanted when we escaped mexifornia was a pizza oven. Both because I wanted to make VPN pizzas, but also because i want to learn how to use just wood to Cook most anything. Right next to the pizza oven is a fire pit. We use those coals to get the pizza oven fire started. Plus I can put a grill over it and cook on it. I’m very excited about this!
I haven’t use the fire pit much. But my goal is to learn how to cook biscuits, stews, cakes, just about anything – in a Dutch oven. I’ve seen on TV how people use charcoal briquettes put on the bottom and on the lid of the Dutch oven, and a certain number of briquettes relates to a certain temperature. I don’t want to get stuck needing briquettes- I want to figure out how to do that just using wood from my forest.
But in the pizza oven I have cooked pizza is at 900°. Focaccia at about 500. One roast at about 400. Various vegetables also. And loaves of rye and wheat bread had about 350. If the temperature drops, I could be different things.
I look forward to learning how to handle that fire pit from everyone else here!
Get a Lodge camp Dutch oven, STAT!
I think mine is 6qt, but without rummaging around in the basement, it might be 8. Have the nylon carrier and the lid lifter tool as well.
Prayers for your brother.
Thank you very much. I believe profoundly in the power of prayer.
Sending prayers for your brother (and you, too)!
Love Almazan Kitchen and Mr. Ramsay!
Yes; Mr. Ramsay is the star of the show!
I like all the sour cream on there!
I watched that. Great production. I want the wooden bowl, the semi circle knife, and the river. Didn’t like the eats.
Yes, prayers up for your brother.
I have very little over fire cooking experience. Would like to have more. We have cooked sausages for dinner and s’mores for dessert. And my first husband built a pizza oven once in our yard. That was absolutely awesome and I dream of another one one day.
For the low carbers out there, I used to make jicama nachos. Just slice them and pile cheese and sliced pickled jalapeños on top. Easy. Balance the cheese on the veggies or it will slide right off, but also good.
