For this campfire trout recipe, my dad taught me how to prepare the trout we caught fresh on camping trips when I was a kid. I always loved the buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture!
Ingredients
- 4 trout , cleaned and head removed
- aluminum foil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter , divided
- 1 medium green bell pepper , sliced
- 1 clove garlic , Optional
Instructions
-
1
Place each trout on a piece of aluminum foil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stuff the cavity with 1 tablespoon of butter, green pepper, and garlic.

Roll trout tightly in the foil, forming packets. Use more foil to secure each packet to a metal toasting rod for use as a handle when removing fish from the coals.

Cover fish packets in red hot, smoldering coals of your campfire and cook until fish is done, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire.

German Hamburgers (Frikadellen)
Frikadellen, the original hamburger, are served like a flattened meatball with string beans and salad. I also like to use this recipe to make Swedish meatballs (but omit the paprika). My aunt in Hamburg, Germany, taught me this recipe, and I've been making it ever since. Serve with steamed string beans and tossed salad. Or serve on a kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, pickled cucumbers, finely sliced deep-fried onions, and curry ketchup.

I've made this gluten-free beer bread several times, and it hasn't failed me yet. It's a great sandwich bread for anyone who wants to eat gluten free. I have a problem keeping it in the kitchen to make sandwiches with!
