This recipe was first featured at the 2020 4xFAR festival in Coachella Valley, CA as part of a Barebones open-fire cooking demonstration. We aim to alleviate the intimidation of cooking over the fire with cast iron and to demonstrate approachable meals that’ll take your outdoor cooking to the next level. This recipe is versatile and elevates any meal it is added too.
