Cast Iron Pizza with Mushrooms, Speck and Arugula
Pizza over the fire is a thrill. An intensely bronze crust, scented with smoke somehow makes pizza even more exhilarating. Prepare your pizza dough at home then keep in your cooler until your ready to cook. Didn’t bring a rolling pin to the campsite? Use a wine bottle or simply press into a round and gingerly stretch the elastic dough with your hands. The beauty of fire cooking is the rustic look and feel of it all.
Warm Mushroom Salad with Chicories
The deeply caramelized, nearly charred warm mushrooms soften the bitter leaves under their heat. This simple salad comes together quickly particularly if you’ve taken the time to prepare the vinaigrette back at home. If not, it’s easily done in the woods with the help of a knife and cutting board or simply dress with olive oil and a splash of sherry vinegar.
