StoveTec Recipe Tracker: See Whats Cooking!

This new StoveTec recipe comes to us from the Peace Corps Zambia's Women In Development Committee. The committee is responsible for empowering women throughout the developing world and helping them to create, implement, and carry out projects to better serve their communities. One such project that was carried out was the creation of a cookbook with over 100 delicious recipes that can all be cooked with the StoveTec Stove! Here is just one to feast your eyes on for now!

Vegetable Curry

1 Potato
1 Eggplant
1/4 cup butter or oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
3-4 tomatoes
black pepper
2 green peppers
2 zucchini
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp coriander
3-10 garlic cloves
2 tbsp curry powder
1 cayenne pepper

Cut up veggies. Melt margarine in a skillet/pan and add garlic and other spices. Add all the veggies except the tomatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water if necessary to keep mixture moist. When vegetables are tender, add tomatoes, and heat through.



This Vegetable Curry dish is a great addition to anyones gourmet camping cookbook and a very healthy one at that! Of course, it can easily be made into a non-vegetarian dish by adding in some diced meat, which is sure to blend well with the veggies and sauce! Many thanks to all the powerful woman in Zambia who contributed to this recipe, and cookbook.

The simple Boat Trip Stew is an example of another large meal that can be easily and quickly made for a whole group/family using the StoveTec stove. Obviously, camping meals no longer have to be just cheese and salami sandwiches and trail mix. Fine dining can be had even with no restaurants or kitchens in site! As long as you still have your stove!
