Campstove cooking

You may have noticed a lack of chatter, well we've been on holiday and I thought since summer keeps appearing, disappearing and popping back for a visit every now and then, it could be possible to have the odd dinner at the allotment.  We've been camping for a couple of weeks and managed some pretty exotic stuff on a little campstove, so I'll share them with you ;-)

As usual, what was supposed to be used will be in italics.  We had limited space, so just bought a tube of generic herbs & spices, and reused left over herbs, pasta or veges and adapted the recipes.  I know you're not surprised by now!

Fajitas - we used a collapsable camping frying pan, mince (chicken pieces), spices, onions, baguettes, cheese and lettuce

Lemon pasta - we used a wok, pasta shells (linguine), olive oil butter (oil) & a real lemon for the juice
