I don't send untested meals into the wilderness. I like to eat too much for that type of adventure, so I tried the dried dish for dinner last night. Honestly, it was much lighter on flavor after being dried, and if I made it again, I would make some fresh spice mix to toss onto the mixture right before it goes into the dryer. It was flavorful and tasty, but not as bold as I thought it should be. I would increase the cumin amount in the spice mix too.
I'm off to Yosemite, I'll let you know how the trip was when I get back, Cheers !
Enjoy some pictures while you are here :
Fresh out of the oven, the beans and two types of rice are visible. Nice bright green spots of cilantro.
A stick of mango jerky for the dish
chopped into little pieces, 
added to the dried food in bowl
Which was tossed into this boiling water, (mix:Water 1:2)
removed from heat, and allowed to stand 10 minutes
here it is after the 10 minutes are up
I simmered it for two minutes, but really it needs to go 10 minutes. The beans were a little bit tough.
Put into the dish after simmering
and topped with some crushed nuts and parsley.

That looks pretty good. Rice is one of my favorite things to cook and the one I have most experience making. I let the water boil until all of it evaporates and then cover the pot.
Thank you for stopping by. I think it looks pretty good too.
