Good day all! I'm reaching out to the Brethren for some ideas/suggestions for main meal during a Scout outing.
Our Scout troop is heading out of town in two weeks to go white water rafting. This is one of the bigger events during the year where we invite along siblings along with the Scouts and their parents. The program staff typically cook for the adults and siblings of the Scouts (the Scouts cook their own meals). A few of the program staff typically will stay behind to make something a bit more involved while the Scouts are on the river. I'm looking for ideas/suggestions for Sat dinner that would be tasty to a wide range of palates and relatively reasonably priced.
When I polled our group, the only definitive response that I got back was a suggestion for hearty sammiches. Umkay, I can work with that! I was thinking of doing something with pork for the primary protein to help keep costs modest...maybe marinate pork to do roast pork ban mi sammiches or perhaps Cubans.
Q: what method would you suggest for cooking at camp for a decent crowd of up to 20?
Would you drop the marinated pork into Dutch ovens and just let them go over a couple hours? Grill first, then Dutch oven?
Secondary protein will likely be marinated chicken thighs for those that may not be wild about pork.
If doing ban mi, will make up an Asian inspired slaw to accompany the sammickes.
Might also do a pear cobbler and a berry cobbler topped with camp made cinnamon ice cream for dessert, but am open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
