I have some really cool BBQ sauce I'd like to use on an upcoming backpacking trip.
Yes, I know it's heavy. Would BBQ sauce make a good vegetable stir fry? Any other vegetarian stews / soups or other recipe it might be good in / on?
Just looking for ideas.

Veggie burgers done in a small fry pan? Maybe a falafel mix put in a pita with some veggies. Depending on the sauce, it could be really good. I've made Idahoan potatoes, added freeze dried veggies that we've rehydrated and added BBQ sauce. Tastes great. I imagine it would be good on beans, too. I've made several different burrito fillers with beans and peppers and onions, usually use salsa added before dehydrating, BBq sauce would work just as well.

The first thing that came up from my Google is: thewanderlustkitchen.com/vegetarian-bbq-recipes/I think some would lend themselves to a little prepping and final cooking on the trail. If you are going to try stir frying with BBQ sauce I would think a good non-stick pan would be needed otherwise clean up on the trail could be sticky. If you are having a fire then maybe veggies kabobs on long sticks and keep painting them with sauce.
EDIT: I just looked at that article again and I think I have to try that Jackfruit sandwich one. I'd use wraps instead of buns on the trail.

I have to try that Jackfruit sandwich While the other recipes all looked great, I don't particularly love Jackfruit, but I'd eat it of course. By the way, I have never seen baked beans sold in a pouch (or anything besides a can). Do you know of such an item? I suppose I could take a can of pinto beans and dehydrate them at home. |

One thing I have wanted to try is essentially home prepared sealed food bags. I have a vacuum sealer so this would be probably better but could likely be done in freezer bags. The idea is to seal something like baked beans and then bring them up to sterilization temps (all food in the bag over 160F for at least 10 minutes). Throw them in the fridge to take the next day on the trail. This won't be for long term. Might be better in colder climate to try this. I want to add a disclaimer that I am not saying this is safe. This might be particularly important if you are talking about using it on a guided hike for your customers. I regularly experiment on myself and am willing to accept the consequences.
A lot of water weight.

There isn't much that doesn't taste good with bbq sauce. Personally, I would make your vegetarian dish at home, then dehydrate the whole thing, bbq sauce included.
