5-to 6-ounce can tuna
1 to 2 tablespoons diced dried onions
Small can sliced  black olives, drained
Small can or jar marinated artichoke hearts with their liquid
Small jar roasted red peppers, drained and diced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

    Drain the tuna over the dried onions and let them soak.  If artichoke hearts are large, cut in bite size. Break up tuna and mix in olives, artichoke hearts and peppers. Stir in vinegar, oil and onion. Mix well.  Heat gently. Spoon over the selected starch.

   
Tips for the Camp Cook

    * Cook carrots in beer instead of water. Season with butter, salt, pepper and a little dillweed.,

    * If your galley sink is too small, use an ice chest as a dishpan and wash basin. Wash water stays warm longer. It’s easily emptied by its drain hole. 
   
    * Instead of graham cracker crumbs, use crushed pretzels to make a pie crust. 

     * Looped terry towels trap sand. Microfiber towels shed it. Now a new line of microfiber towels is available in a good choice of colors and patterns. https://amzn.to/2OaaiMn
 

    * Use a rubber scraper on dishes before washing. Rinsing wastes water and clogs up the drain, pipes, holding tank and sensors. 

           * Perk up your next burgers or meatloaf. Instead of bread crumbs, use crushed honey mustard pretzels.

    * Do you freeze meals for cruising or racing? The best book yet is Seriously Good Freezer Meals. It’s lavishly illustrated and filled with great recipes and tips  .https://amzn.to/2MBFVg7

    * Some slow cookers cook unevenly. If yours has a “hotspot”,  don protective gloves to  lift out the insert, lid and all, and turn it after the first hour or two of cooking.

Janet Groene lived full-time on the go for ten years, wintering on board a 29-foot sloop with a two-burner Primus stove and no refrigerator.  She can bake without an oven, live for months without refrigeration and, she jokes, cook a 5-course meal in a telephone booth. 

Galley Recipe of the Week
Reuben Casserole
    Canned corned beef has been the sailor’s best friend since the clipper ship days. 

   
Sliced rye bread, diced
12-ounce can of corned beef, broken up
15-ounce can chopped sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
Swiss cheese
1 can condensed cream of tomato soup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup pickle relish

    Grease a baking pan or heavy skillet generously. Cover bottom with a layer of diced rye bread.  Top with corned beef and kraut. Add another layer of rye bread and top with sliced or grated Swiss cheese.
     Whisk tomato soup, water and relish  and pour over the casserole. Cover and bake or cook  heated through. Serves 4 to 6.

Tips for the Galley Cook
* When making “strata” casseroles that call for layers of sliced bread and an overnight soak, cut the bread in small cubes. It will soak up liquid faster and can be cooked right away.

* Candied fruit is very expensive at Christmas time but it’s half price after the holidays and it lasts for months.  (Check use-by dates). Add candied cherries and/or pineapple to cakes, muffins, cookies. 

* If you love coffee ice cream, love this frosting. Beat a stick of softened butter with 4 cups powdered sugar and 1/4 cup Kahlua.

* Plain, ho-hum  burgers on the transom grill? While they’re hot, spread with a mixture of 1 stick butter and 2 tablespoons each honey mustard and orange marmalade.

Pantry Recipe of the Week
Cajun Salmon

 
16-ounce can salmon, drained
1 tablespoon diced, dried onion bits
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning such as Tony Cachere’s
Small can sliced black olives, drained
15-ounce can diced tomatoes with onion and green pepper

Drain salmon into a small cup and soak onion bits. Break up salmon and arrange in a saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoning. Drain onions. Scatter olives and onions over salmon. Add tomatoes and heat gently, allowing flavors to blend. Serve over rice, toast, biscuits, potato, noodles, etc.

Bonus Recipe
Peanut Butter Poppers
    When you need a shot of energy on night watch or when beach combing, pop a couple of these little numbers. The sugar provides quick energy and the high fat content has staying power.
12-ounce jar of peanut butter (1 ½ cups)
2 sticks butter or margarine (1 cup), softened
About 1 ½ pounds powdered sugar
Optional coating: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, sprinkles, chocolate jimmies

    Stir peanut butter and butter together and work in powdered sugar until it won’t hold any more. Mixture should be very dry, just moist enough to form into walnut-size balls. Wrap in twists of waxed paper as is, or roll in one of the coatings listed.

Pantry Recipe of the Week
(No fresh ingredients needed) 

Walnut  Tapenade
 A small amount of this condiment adds a burst of flavor to a humdrum dish. If you don’t have a food chopper or food processor, get out the cutting board and a chef’s knife. Tapanade is very finely chopped but do not over-process.

1 cup roasted, salted almonds
Small can or jar of roasted peppers, drained

 Serve on crackers, toss with hot pasta or  spoon on hot or cold  meat, omelet or vegetables.

Simple Recipes for the Sailor's Galley

This blog is for boaters, yachties and sailors who have a galley, not a kitchen. You have limited space, gadgetry and water. You can’t waste cooking fuel or money. You might  cook underway in frisky seas, perhaps for days at a time. You’re prepared for today and for what tomorrow may bring. Let’s eat. 

Galley Recipe of the Week
One-Pot Cheesy Hash
     

      Cooked chicken bites come in vac-pac packages in the meat department.  Well sealed, they keep days, sometimes weeks, in the reefer. Evaporated milk burns easily, so keep the fire low after it’s added.  

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12- to 16-ounce package cooked chicken bites
Medium onion, diced
28-ounce bag hashed brown or O’Brien potatoes
Small can evaporated milk (2/3 cup)
1 cup (or to taste)  shredded cheese such as Cheddar

 In a large skillet, heat the oil and sizzle chicken bites over high heat to brown them. Gradually stir in onion and potatoes. Reduce heat, cover and cook until onions are tender. Drizzle evaporated milk over all and stir to mix and heat over medium heat. . Sprinkle with cheese, turn off heat and let stand, covered, just until cheese melts. Serves 4.

     Survival Food Handbook is filled with lists, warnings, how-to, recipes galore and much more. How to clean up after the bilge floods? What to do when refrigeration fails and you're in the middle of the ocean? Back-up stoves?

     Provision your boat with a back-up supply of affordable, familiar pantry foods from the supermarket. When stuff happens you’ll have real meals, not doomsday dehydrates. 

Pantry Recipe of the Week
(No Fresh Ingredients Needed)
 Canned hominy is a chewy corn found in the Mexican food aisle. Usually white, it’s also available in yellow.  It isn’t for everyone.  Before stocking your boat with case lots, try it  in several ways. Some recipes call for it undrained but also try it drained. For a milder flavor, drain and rinse it. It’s best known in Posole, a Mexican soup or stew made with hominy, meat or fish and vegetables.  

Creamy Hominy

3 cans 15 ounces each, white or yellow hominy
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon powdered garlic
Small can evaporated milk (2/3 cup)
4-ounce can diced chilies, drained
8-ounce box of process cheese such as Velveeta, diced
2 cups cooked, diced, cooked meat, fish or vegetables (optional)

 Drain hominy and, if desired, rinse and drain again. In a pot combine hominy, water and garlic powder. Cover and simmer gently about 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add milk, stirring over low heat. Fold in chilies and cheese to melt cheese. Fold in any additional ingredients, cover and heat gently (milk dishes scorch easily). Serves 6 to 8. 

Tips for the Boat Cook

  * Enclose each chocolate-covered cherry in a little square of pastry.  Seal well. Bake in the oven or a pie iron. Instant Black Forest tart! 

 *Make your own clarified butter or buy ghee. It keeps longer, tolerates higher frying temperatures. 

 * When keeping a delicate dish warm in a pan, cut a piece of parchment the diameter of the pan, butter it, and place over the food to keep it moist. Then cover with a lid. 

 * When using a slow cooker to make cakes and breads, place a folded dish towel under the lid, letting it hang over sides to stay taut. It absorbs excess moisture. 

 *Put an easy tah-DAH sparkle on a plain dessert. Put hard candies in a clean cloth towel, pound with a hammer, sprinkle colorful sugar shards on fruit, frosting, plain cake, muffins,  flan. 

Skillet Recipe of the Week
Stack-Up  Skillet Pie

For this recipe you need a  nonstick, slope-sided skillet the same size as the tortillas.  You’ll also need a lid for the skillet,  a  cutting board for the 10-inch pie, and a  serrated knife for easier slicing. The whole pie slides out of the pan, which then wipes clean with a paper towel.

Sliced scallions to taste
8-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained (about 1 cup corn)
1 can black, pinto or red beans, drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ cups salsa (hot, medium or mild)
4 flour burrito size tortillas

2. Spray the skillet . Spread a tortilla with 1/3  of the bean mixture and 1/3 of the cheese. Put in the skillet. Repeat layers, ending with a tortilla on top.
3. Cover the skillet and put it over a low flame until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted. Let stand at least 5 minutes to firm up
4. The pie should slide out onto the cutting board. Cut into quarters using a long knife and a sawing motion without pressing hard. Sprinkle with finely chopped green onion,  and serve. Makes 4 portions
