Chums and the fire in the long autumn night.

The typhoon that swept away the summer sun brought a modest autumn as a stepping stone to winter. This year, perhaps due to the new coronavirus, many people left the cities and went camping. Many people are reaffirming the charm of nature that they have not experienced for a long time and admiring the energy that camping gives them. For these beginner campers, I would like to recommend the items from CHUMS, which gently guide you through the process. In this issue, let's talk about fall camping around a fire!

Breathe in the fire that burns.

The sun is setting and the camp is drawing to a close. The finale will be a spectacular bonfire. We used a fire pit designed to be easy for even beginners to handle. If you put in a large piece of wood, it will provide enough heat to keep three people warm.

The charcoal catcher is 15 cm off the ground and does not directly affect the ground, so it can be used without hesitation.

Whenever I see a fire burning, I always want to...yes, roast marshmallows! Thread a large American-standard marshmallow on a skewer and hold it over the fire. In your other hand, prepare a cookie as a saucer.

"Are we there yet?" "Isn't it enough?" When they were all excited, we all took a bite. The marshmallows were browned on the surface and meltingly sweet from the inside, making us so happy that our cheeks fell off. It was a perfect ending to the dinner, a camp-like dessert.

There are camps that I want people living in glamorous Tokyo to experience. With the self-restraint of the Japanese people, their bodies and minds, which have been constricted, can be liberated by such simple things as being close to nature, sitting around a fire, and gazing at it. You may want to face the things you usually neglect through camping.

Special Recipe

1) Roast beef (serves 4)

<Materials
Beef thigh block: 800g
Spices for marinade: garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, etc. to taste (commercially available seasoning powder can also be used)
2 or 3 vegetables of your choice: 3 kinds of potatoes, pecoros, carrots (or onions, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, etc., as desired)
Salt, pepper
Rosemary: 2 sprigs
Olive oil: 2 tablespoons

＜下準備＞
If there is enough time, place the block of meat in a bowl with enough water to cover it and let it sit for about an hour to drain the blood (changing the water several times during the process).
Sprinkle salt, pepper and spices evenly over the bled-out block of meat, rub it in and let it blend for a while.
Cut vegetables into bite-size pieces (if roasted with skin, peel when eating).

<Process
In a Dutch oven, brown all sides of the meat block in a little olive oil.
When browned, place the meat in the center of the pan and place the chopped vegetables around it.
Place rosemary on top of meat and cover.
Hang the Dutch oven slightly away from the fire. Place some lit coals on top of the lid. Roast for 20-30 minutes, checking for doneness along the way.
Cut and serve.

<Points
To check for doneness, stick an iron skewer into the meat and see if the inside is just warm enough to be human skin.

(2) Bouillabaisse (4 servings)

<Materials
Shrimp (with head): 10 - to taste
White fish fillets (cod, red fish, etc.): 3 - to taste
Mussels: 15
2 cloves garlic
1 onion
Tomato paste: 2 tablespoons
White wine: 300ml
Consomme: 2
Water: 800ml
Olive oil: 3 large
Saffron: a handful
Salt and pepper
＜下準備＞
Remove the shells from the prawns, leaving the heads and tails intact, and remove the back wads.
Cut onion into bite-sized pieces. Crush garlic cloves with a knife.
Mix saffron with water to make saffron water.
<Process
In a Dutch oven, add olive oil, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and saute.
When fragrant, add the shrimp and mussels, saute lightly and pour in the white wine.
When the alcohol in the white wine has boiled off, add the tomato paste and consommé.
Add the white fish, pour in the saffron water to cover the ingredients, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
<Points
White fish should be added last, as they tend to fall apart easily.
Onions and garlic should be slowly sauteed to bring out their sweetness and aroma.
