Backpacking food!

Will update this post when I've test-rehydrated some stuff.

3 trays of salmon, 1 can of the bear-and-wolf brand per tray
1 tray of celery, 3 stalks, diced
3 trays of frittata, + salsa verde sprinkled on top
2 trays of 2 chicken-and-apple sausages.  (I heated up the sausages in the microwave, then tried to get the pork casing off, more-or-less unsuccessfully.  I then whirred these in the food processor, then spread them out on the trays.  The idea, if these re-hydrate in a freezer bag well, is too add dried sweet potatoes, and have a kind of hash in the mornings.)
1 tray of Wholly Guacamole (the pico-de-gallo kind).  The internet says guac can be dehydrated and then rehyrdated on the trail.  I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'm trying it.
2 trays of blended chile verde.


Chile verde recipe:
Saute 2 onions, diced small, in chipotle olive oil
After a few minutes: Add 1-2 cloves garlic
After a few minutes: Add 1-2 bell peppers, diced small
After 5-10 minutes: Add a bunch of either diced or shredded sweet potato, some pepper, and cumin.
After 5-10 minutes: Add a can of diced tomatoes, a can of green chiles, and 2 (16 oz.) jars of salsa verde.

Simmer until sweet potatoes are done.  Add 2 (larger) cans of chicken.  Simmer until desired consistency.

Blend for dehydrating.

(P.S. - I used the canned chicken specifically because it supposedly rehydrates better, since it has been pressure cooked.  I read it on the internet, it must be true!)

Update 3/11/13:

Rehydrating test!  (At work, not on the trail).  Put the various recipes into a freezer-quality quart bag from Ziploc.  (It's worth noting that Ziploc officially says that their freezer bags are not meant to withstand boiling.  So, throw your dice where they may fall.  I add hot water, not boiling, and have not had problems.  I'd recommend keeping it in another container (mug, bowl, etc) while it's rehydrating just in case of leaks or whatever.  However, if it doesn't work for you, you've been warned.  See also FreezerBagCooking.com )

Chile Verde: Rehydrates well, delicious.  Win.

Guac: Rehydrates pretty well.  The texture is, of course, somewhat different.  I am more than pleasantly surprised (I didn't think dehydrating something with so much fat in it would work that well).  Should be an interesting addition on the trail.  Be careful not to add too much water.

Sausage and some pieces of dried sweet potato puree as an experimental breakfast:  Added way too much water.  However, the sausage rehydrated well and quicker than expected, so we'll call it win.  I think this will be a good change from the eggs for breakfasts.
