The Ultimate Off-Road Pad Thai
Let’s be real for a minute here, the tracks we travel throughout this great country are only part of the appeal of touring. It’s the stunning landscapes, the time with good mates, those once-in-a-lifetime sunsets, and near the top of the list has to be good eats. Yep, campfire cooking is the perfect opportunity for 4X4ers to push their culinary skills to the limit. Sam West from Club 4×4 Insurance came along on a recent filming run, and while he’s a top bloke to have a yarn with, and even more of a whiz on the insurance front, when that man dons an apron he means business. Here’s the epic Pad Thai he knocked together for a slice of gourmet living in a million-star hotel. Ingredients: The Foundation of Flavour Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather our ingredients. This recipe is built around easy-to-find ingredients that pack a punch in terms of flavour: – Rice noodles, the backbone of this dish, provide a tender and satisfying texture. – Aromatic base ingredients: chilli (to taste), 4 cloves of garlic, and a tablespoon of finely chopped lemongrass, setting the stage for an unforgettable flavour profile. – Finely chopped shallots and coriander, adding a fresh and vibrant touch. – One chicken breast, sliced into thin strips, offering lean protein to…

Engel’s Outback Gourmet: Creamy Seared Lemon Chicken
RECIPE BY PAT CALLINAN, IMAGES BY TOMMY SALMON ADVICE: RECIPE This dish is a hearty campfire delight, although it was admittedly cooked on the gas burners of the EzyTrail Ceduna. It’s a relatively simple cook, aided by a nice splash of Greenskin Wine (which is undoubtedly too fancy for cooking, but we had it in the pantry!). For the uninitiated, Greenskin Wine is quality Aussie wine that comes in 750ml sachets that don’t leak or split. And the upside is they can be stacked more efficiently than regular bottles, and weigh a lot less (so travel better). THE PROCESS Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear until brown and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan, and then brown the onion and garlic, and add the chicken stock, white wine and mustard powder. Cook for around 10 minutes or until reduced. Add the chicken back to the pan, until cooked through. Reduce heat, and stir in the cream and lemon juice being careful to simmer, and not boil the sauce. Serve over a bed of brown rice, and garnish with fresh lemons and basil or coriander. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS 1kg chicken breasts1 x brown onion4 x cloves of garlic1 cup chicken stock1 teaspoon of mustard powder1 x cup of white wineJuice of two lemons¼ cup cooking…
