In our mind, a great houseboat recipe requires a few things.
First, it has to involve a small number of ingredients. Because you have to bring everything you need, it’s important to limit the number of ingredients you need to bring.
Second, it can’t require a lot of equipment to complete. You don’t have access to your whole kitchen on a houseboat, so the fewer cooking devices you need the better.
Next, it has to be fast and easy. You don’t go out on a houseboat to stay inside cooking. A great recipe will require you to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible.
Finally, it has to be good. No one wants to eat a bad meal and you don’t really have many options, so it’s important that your meal delivers the nutrition your boat needs to enjoy the rest of their trip.
Luckily this simple recipe delivers on all of the essentials of a great houseboat recipe. The added refreshing lemon zest makes for a great addition and is one of the staple flavors of summer.
