Burghul (also known as bulgur wheat) is great for hiking. It's lightweight, easy to cook, and makes a delicious pilaf that's just perfect for eating beside the campfire.
Put green onions and green banana chillis in a sealed bag. Put tomato powder, burghul wheat and sun-dried tomatoes in separate bags. Combine dried thyme and dried mint in a bag.
Dice salami. Finely chop brown onion, garlic, green banana chillis and sun-dried tomatoes. Thinly slice green onions.
Heat oil and fry brown onion, garlic, salami and green banana chilli for a few minutes until the onion has softened.
Add water, stock cubes, dried mint and thyme, tomato powder and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 3 minutes.
Stir in burghul wheat, then cover and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the water has been absorbed (15-20 minutes).
If you have time, turn off the stove and let your pilaf sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. Otherwise, divide between bowls and sprinkle over sliced green onions.
