Since I’ve been posting these recipe round-ups it’s been fun watching the patterns of the most popular searches and boy oh boy you guys have been grilling and from what I can tell camping/RV’ing/boating up a storm. It’s all about the barbecue and Omnia cooking this month. Not to exclude you who are without the little stove-top miracle of an oven because you know I will always give you options for conventional land-based ovens but it’s obvious by the number…
Our days are getting warmer Galley Peeps of the north, and I’ve officially put away my cold weather recipe mentality. There will still room for the occational cocooning comfort dish, but my almost-ready-for-flip-flops-boating-and-barbecuing-self is salivating for something to throw on the grill. CHICKEN ZUCCHINI CORN BURGERS makes 6 burgers 1 lb ground chicken 1 cup grated zucchini 1/2 cup corn niblets 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped 3 green onion, finely sliced 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 egg 1/2 cup panko…
There are so many great recipes out there for delicious vegetarian meals that I can’t remember the last time I actually cooked a meal with meat… fish, yes but no animal has been sacrificed in my galley for ages. Captain hasn’t complained either, although he doesn’t complain, ever. He once told me that if someone goes to the trouble of preparing a meal for him, he should be appreciative of the effort… And really Galley Peeps, between you and me,…
We love our sweet taters. So rich in fibre! …and this recipe with the added yogurt sauce is perfect adding great flavour and apparently the addition of a little fat will aid in the uptake of all that good orange beta-carotene. They also make an easy appetizer or snack. Just make little two inch crispy potato medallions with a touch of sauce on the side. SWEET POTATO PATTIES 1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated 1/2 tsp…
I first tried these as kabobs but they didn’t hold together very well.. possibly because of the goat cheese, so this time I made the same recipe but as patties or burgers and grilled them on the barbecue… much better… The rich taste of the lamb, the sweetness of the rasins and the spicy sauce were a winning combination… shown here served with my Broad Bean & Pea Salad LAMB PATTIES 1 lb ground lamb 1/4…

A ‘hunter/fisherman and amazing wild life photographer’ colleague of Francois recently shared some of his hunting good fortune with us. Deer meat is typically very lean so if over-cooked the result can be dry. VENISON BURGERS I have no particular recipe for the burgers. just added minimal seasoning: a healthy splash of Worchestershire sauce, a good pinch of tarragon, and a sizeable dollop of Dijon (has to be Maille according my Frenchman) Gently mix together. To offset some of…
Looking ahead optimistically to boating season when these two winter-worn ‘dirt people’ will once again be on the water, I prepared a really tastey grilled dinner… Good for ‘Meatless Monday’ and this version, gluten free… BLACK BEAN & CORN BURGERS olive oil 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 large garlic clove, minced 1 jalapeño chopped (seeds removed for less heat) 1 can black beans (about 2 cups) 1 small can corn niblets (about 3/4 cups) 1 tsp Cayenne pepper 1.5 tsp…
A vegetarian dish for Meatless Monday… This is a bit of a cheat because it is unlikely that I would take the time to cook the quinoa on the boat to make this dish (just one burner, remember?) …I could – just more work and more pots to wash. But I quite often would cook grains ahead of time at home and bring a good supply onboard for such an occasion. Zucchini Quinoa Patties with Lemon Yogurt…
