Now, one of these friends was admittedly hungry enough to eat a possum (if properly prepared), but he still said it was one of the best things he&#8217;d ever eaten, in the woods or otherwise.  Now, this is a somewhat heavy meal to package (16 oz.) but it&#8217;s definitely enough to feed two, so it&#8217;s not really THAT heavy.  Among the &#8220;fresh&#8221; (i.e. heavier) ingredients that you&#8217;ll need are a small onion, a tube of Amore tomato paste, and a mini bottle of wine (this adds an additional 7 ounces).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>INGREDIENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4 oz. freeze-dried beef cubes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 packets of olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">small onion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 heaping TB dehydrated leeks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3 TB dehydrated carrots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4 oz. dry red wine of choice (the mini bottles are 7 oz. so use half and drink the rest.
