Em makes a canteen cup Tuesday meal for those hikers, campers, and backpackers who are vegetarian or need to eat gluten free food! This flavorful dish is Quinoa with Spinach and Toasted Pecans. This is a part of a wonderful collaboration by an online group of outdoors lovers! If you would like to join with us and participate, see the info below! This week we have 11 collaborators on the playlist - check it out!!
The recipe is:
olive oil (1 T)
1/2 cup quinoa rinsed, then drizzled with olive oil
1/2 cup chopped pecans, drizzled with olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup rinsed baby spinach
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water
1. Boil/simmer quinoa until water is absorbed (remove from cup)
2. Toast pecans and garlic lightly - stirring often to keep from burning
3. Add spinach, stirring in as it wilts and cooks
4. Add quinoa back to cup and stir into spinach/pecan mixture
5. Salt/Pepper to taste (I had already salted my quinoa and spinach before packaging for the trail.)

HISTORY OF CANTEEN CUPS PER WIKIPEDIA: "To complement the mess kit, soldiers used a stamped cup especially molded to fit over the bottom of the U.S. Army's standard one-quart (950 ml) canteen. This cup could be used as a boiling vessel, when boiling water for coffee, or for heating or reconstituting soup and other foods. During World War II, units preparing heated combat rations in the Meat Can Body or canteen cup mainly used locally procured combustible materials or Sterno fuel units of jellied alcohol. The latter could be stored within an issued folding stove for deployment when heating food, soup, or coffee in the field. After World War II, a specially-designed Esbit stove was issued to fit over the cup-and-canteen unit, similar to designs used in other armies."
