Chilli Spam & Eggs - Fab Food 4 All, camping, quick, easy, chickpeas

When SPAM Chopped Pork and Ham asked me to come up with a recipe suitable for camping using its easy to open tub, I jumped at the chance. I may have only camped in my garden but I have watched a lot of ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” so feel like I’m an expert camp cook by proxy! My hubby did take our son camping once when he was small and I’m sure they just opened a can of beans and hot dogs and I also remember my son went camping when he was a scout!

Well my feeling is that you shouldn’t have to dumb down the quality of your food even if you are camping. When you’re out in the wilds and exerting lots of energy I think you need a really good, nutritious and hearty meal so with this in mind I came up with my Chilli SPAM and Eggs. All the ingredients are things you can safely keep in your food box, especially the new easy open tub, which can be popped into a back pack. If you can’t get hold of the spices or forget to bring them with you then I really wouldn’t worry!

So what did my happy campers make of my dish you may ask? Well hubby said “wow what a brilliant recipe, I love it” and my son said “this is too good for camping”! Well I was one happy lady and camping or not, I will be making this dish regularly as it went down so well.

I do hope if you go camping this summer that you’ll give my Chilli SPAM & Eggs a go as I’m sure your fellow campers will love you for it. Just sit back and enjoy the compliments (and then get them to do the washing up)!

Chilli Spam & Eggs - Fab Food 4 All, camping, quick, easy, chickpeas I asked a few fellow bloggers for their camping recipes and here is what they had to offer:

  • Middle Eastern Spiced Camp Fire Chickpeas – Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary
  • Banana S’mores – Fab Food 4 All
  • S’mores Cones – Foodie Quine
  • BBQ’d Tunnocks Tea Cakes – Foodie Quine

I am also entering this dish into the following blog challenges: CreditCrunchMunch – which I run with Fuss Free Flavours and being hosted by Baking Queen 74 this month. Simply Eggcellent – where the theme is savoury, hosted by Belleau Kitchen. Extra Veg – run by Fuss Free Flavours and Utterly Scrummy and hosted by Veggie Desserts this month.

  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 Large handfuls grated extra mature Cheddar about 85g

Instructions

  • Push the onion to one side and add the diced SPAM Chopped Pork and Ham and fry until golden on all sides.
  • Add the green pepper and fry for another 3 minutes mixing everything together.
  • Add the spices and chickpeas and heat through for a minute.
  • Add the 2 cartons of tomatoes with chilli, black pepper and 150 mls water and simmer with a lid on for 10 minutes (if you have no lid you could use foil).

  • Return the lid and cook until eggs turn opaque (about 10 minutes).
  • Serve with crusty bread or toast to mop up the juices.

    This sounds pretty good – not fond of Spam myself – but this is making me rethink it

      Great Ursula – I’ve been using the Cirio chilli tomatoes which I find in Home Bargains at 39p and I think they make a huge difference to the dish!

    Oml it’s years since I’ve had spam, used to love spam sandwiches as a kid! This makes me think I need to give it another go 🙂

    It’s been a while since I’ve had spam out of choice but I have to be honest this dish is very tempting. It has all the right qualities of a good camping dish and the eggs on top is genius. Thanks for entering such a great dish for Simply Eggcellent x

    This looks like a special version of shaksuka which is another very tasty dish. The easy-open pack sounds very handy for camping and for left handed people like me who can’t open those key tins!

      Ooh not heard of a Shaksuka but if it’s similar to this I’m sure I’d love it:-) Aah never realised left handed people had this problem!
