I lightened the recipe by omitting the 1/2c olive oil and used some of the oil in the jar of sun dried tomatoes. I added water to the blender as needed to get the right consistency. Kids loved it!

One option is to harvest with gloves, bring nettles home to wash them, then stick them through food processor to break up the formic acid (stinging hairs!) then add fresh lemon, fresh garlic, garden chives, olive oil, grated parmeasn cheese. Also try different versions: pecan, walnut, hazlenut, pinenut. My fav is pecan…Just throw them in food processor and grind them with the nettles. Another option is to just harvest them in the wild, use a mortar and pestle or something to ‘mash them up’ well, or steam them until they turn bright green and and get ‘limp.’ Then mix all the rest with them. Learn ahead of your hikes what is edible in the wild and learn what you are legally permitted to harvest (national, state, county parks all have different regulations) and enjoy harvesting wild foods.

We’re so happy to be a part of your camping trips (which sound incredible, by the way). Let us know if you have any great ideas or adaptations that you’ve surely come up with along the way. We love the inspiration! Happy New Year!

This one is perhaps our favorite – the kids and adults love it, and you can put most of it together at home, which is a big plus. Another plus is that it’s vegan. We first made this on a cold day in Glacier National Park, and most recently on the Whanganui River Trip in New Zealand, and everyone loved it. Thanks for all the great camping recipe ideas! When I am looking for something new, your website is my first stop!

Hi Sandy! I would probably keep the pesto in a cooler to be safe, mostly cause it has water in it, which could lead to nasty things growing.

Then… I put pesto in with pasta so it marinates. It’s pretty good cold too. If needing protein, I’ll chop up chicken, cook with a portion of pesto & tomatoes, then add precooked pasta to work in chicken juices & heat it up. I like to top w/ feta cheese (wash off olives a little so it’s not too salty) and sprinkle with some more pine nuts and shredded basil.

Yum!
