Good Old Boats article this month on preserving meat...uses a pressure cooker.If you're gone more than a week...that would be real good (no ice/refrigeration needed) The almighty pressure cooker !! " It slices...It dices...It does julien french fries"
Pressure cookers work great on a boat. Like most "simple" things, they take some practice to use effectively. If you haven't used one before, read "Pressure cookers for Dummies" by Tom Lacalamita. Check your local library.
The best cookbook I've found is "Great vegetarian cooking under pressure : two-hour taste in ten minutes" by Lorna J. Sass.
Here's a good recipe to get started with:
Split Pea Soup
6 cups water
2 cups split peas
1 onion
1 clove garlic
2 carrots
2 pieces of celery
1 bouillon cube
1 tablespoon olive oil
Put the water on to start heating while you are getting the other ingredients ready. Chop up everything and dump it in the water. Cook for 6 minutes on high pressure. Either "quick release" or let it depressurize on it's own depending on how hungry you are. Mash the soup with a potato masher to make it smooth. Dump in a shot of red wine if you have it. Enjoy!
SWEET!
as a vegetarian I love it!! ;D
Here's another quick vegetarian recipe if you can't wait 6 minutes for Split Pea Soup:
French Onion Soup
6 Cups Water
2 or 3 onions
Garlic if you want it
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 bouillon cube.
Same deal, get the water heating while you're chopping. Dump everything in and give it three minutes on high. Depressurize with the "quick release" method so the onions don't get overcooked.
Easy and gooood!
