There are many ways to cook in the desert, or any place where people camp. Different methods of cooking require different equipment. However, some methods don't require a lot of equipment. That is want I like about HANITH method.
HANITH is a method or style to cook meat and rice. You can have whatever kind of meat you want, but I prefer lamb meat. In order to have the HANITH cooked well, you need an axe, Palm leaves, fire woods, rice, and meat.
First, you need to dig up a hole in the ground to start a fire on it. second, after the fire stops put the palm leaves on the coals. The palm leaves have to be wet and green so that it wouldn't burn. Next, put the meat on the leave, and cover the hole with a plate, then add sand on it. Here is some pictures of this steps.

After covering the hole, start another fire on it so that it get cooked both sides, and you can cook the rice on that fire. Use the only pot we need for this method to cook the rice on the tap fire. I think everybody know how to cook rice. Also, everybody like to cook it differently. However, here is a link to help those who don't know how to cook rice. Here is some pictures of this step.
