• Camping stove and pot
• Bamboo spatula and spoon
• small cutting board
• sharp knife
• insulated bottle (for the lamb)
• optional: vegetable peeler for carrots

• 120 g lamb meat, cut into large cubes
• 2 carrots
• 2 large or 4 medium potatoes
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 glass of white wine (either take the bottle with you to drink at dinner, or decant into a spill-proof container; and remember: dispose of empty bottle in an environmentally safe manner)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (decant into a small, spill-proof bottle).
• Salt, pepper, and 1 cube vegetable broth (transport all together in a small leak-proof container)
• Water
• 1 large porcini mushroom (alternative: herb mushrooms)
• 2 spring onions

1. Season the lamb and store in a well-chilled food bottle (depending on the bottle, the food should stay cold between 4 and 8 hours).
2. Pack the mushroom in a sturdy container so that it does not get crushed in the backpack.
3. Transport root vegetables in a silicone dry bag.

1. Peel carrots and cut into thin rings, potatoes into thumb-sized cubes, onion into rings. Peel and chop the garlic.
2. Light the stove and add olive oil to the pot. Add diced onion and garlic, simmer for 1-2 minutes, then deglaze with white wine.
3. When this simmers, add the stock cube, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.
4. Add the diced potatoes and carrots and 1 cube of lamb and fill with clear water so that everything is covered.
5. Reduce heat and simmer until carrots and potatoes are just cooked through.
6. Add the rest of the meat, slice the mushrooms, add to the pot and simmer until the lamb is cooked through but still juicy.
7. Taste and add seasoning if needed.
8. Turn off stove and cover pot. Finely dice scallions for decoration.
