Also how do you consider disinfection of ingredients and cleaning up cooking utensils after you're done?

I use a pocket rocket msr stove, a pot, and a pan, and i bring a lil cutting board and small utensils and I cook meals like I cook at home. Unless you are in a really hot and humid place there is no reason you cant pack in fresh food for the first few days. I might pre cook the meat though. I make lots of pasta and rice dishes. Heres one for a pasta salad that women love
>orzo
>arugula
>red onion
>feta
>pine nuts
>dried cranberries/cherries
>pepper
>olive oil+balsamic vinegar
Only thing you have to cook is the pasta. You could add meat like something cured. Essential part is also to roast the pine nuts on low heat in the pan. No oil needed they have their own.

They make biodegradable dish soap. So that and a lil scrubber and a bit of water. But honestly on a lot of shorter trips if I'm staying near flowing water I'll just rinse in the creek with my hands. The key is cleaning immediately after use to not allow anything to stick.

Sounds like some marseille soap and a small handbrush are ideal. Do you leave the things to air dry or carry towels? Do you leave wet and hard to dry things in ziploc bags or else?

Couscous is quicker to cook, uses much less fuel, and is equally satisfying (compared to orzo).

Air dry, but I also live in god's country with little humidity. I also bring a general purpose rag.

I make other /out/ meals with couscous, like one with sausage and green beans and tomatoes, but for that dish I much prefer orzo.

>What's the minimal gear needed to cook something you can call complex?
a pot and a frying pan. I used to use take the full Trangia 27 kit on trips all the time.

>What's the most complex dish you've prepared?
I can cook anything part from baked goods. having 2 pots or a frypan and pot is good as you can cook a side dish and a main, and not some one pot slopa.

I don't care much about cooking outdoors. I use some beer can stove for coffee, herbal teas or dehydrated food, and may take a mini barbecue grid if campfires are possible/allowed. Few sipces in limited amounts.

Last automn while hiking we found many edible boletus mushrooms and chestnuts, most complex dish was probably grilled chicken sandwich with grilled mushrooms tossed with garlic and olive oil.

I'm from Europe, there is probably some kind of restaurant or grocery shop 10km away. I also rely on picking berries, frouts, crops or edible plants in my path. I will try greek horta style green salads next may.

Pic related is sea fennel and it's delicious.
