We used to live off this, easy to do on a camping stove. Another easy one is chicken legs in cream and white wine. Cook the chicken legs in butter than add a good glass of white wine and reduce, then near the end mustard and cream - don't boil the cream. Adding a few shalottes cut fine improves it, before the chicken. Herbs de Provence, pepper and salt. Good with rice, spag or tagliatelli. You can also do your chicken legs with onions, garlic, peppers, and tomatoes. Having two stoves helps, a second to do the spag or rice.
PS. Just noticed "meths stove", is that pressurised or not? If not my recipes might be hard going
I've done them on Camping Gas, petrol and parafin but always the sort that give you a decent flame.
