Ingredients
Several of the ingredients, like oats, cashews, and Parmesan are found in most grocery stores, while others like dehydrated mushrooms, peas, and lemon powder are most easily found online. They add vital flavor however, so don’t skip them. To get the full experience of this meal, all ingredients are critical.
At-home preparation
When solo, I bag all of the ingredients together save for the olive oil and Parmesan.
In a group, each member is given their own bag of oats, peas, bouillon, lemon, and thyme. The remaining ingredients are communally carried, and distributed in the field.
To carry the olive oil, I recommend a Nalgene bottle (4 to 32 oz), which has a reliably tight screw-lid.
Cooking instructions
For perfect consistency:
- Put in your pot: olive oil, bacon, mushrooms, and 8 oz of water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add oats, peas, bullion, and lemon, and return to a simmer for 30 or 60 seconds.
- Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow peas to fully rehydrate.
- Add the cashews and Parmesan, and enjoy.
