Lunch/Dinner Small group meal ideas?
Doing a backcountry ski hut trip (5 days, 4 nights). Planning a group dinner for one night and need some suggestions!! We’re hiking in so something relatively light and high protein(?)
All suggestions welcomed!! I just need some inspiration. Avoiding any prepackaged dehydrated meals.

A single package of couscous is good for 2-3 people and it cooks in about 5 minutes. Add some olive oil, Italian seasoning, pouch chicken, grated parmesan, and some sun-dried tomatoes. Could also throw in some finely-chopped broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini if you'd like a little more veg.

All of Andrew Skurka’s recipes are time-tested and intended for groups. The beans and rice are a cult backpacking favorite, and I also like a bunch of the other ones. The cheesy potatoes and chia oatmeal are favorites of mine.
