Truthfully I'm wondering, what kind of recipe & cooking can be done in Campfire for Inquisitor, Warden & Company during travel?
Since they can't have too many pots & pans it should be a one-pot, made with ingredients that won't spoil too fast & won't break. I imagine eggs will be out of questions.
Alistair & Leliana mention Stew on DA:O. We might reasonably guess on game meat from time to time.
Normally, roots veggies like Potatoes, Carrots, Turnips can also be brought for travel without much risk & won't spoil.
So stew, stew, stew?
Porridge?
I'll try to find whether I can find/create recipes for this kind of travel.
I actually have a bunch of great recipes for camp food! I'm a larper, and our larp actually prides itself on people coming up with 'in character' dishes, which have to be made on camp stoves (so, no ovens and since we live in fire country, we can't rely on having an actual campfire & can only use propane stoves).
Stew is probably the most common thing to make, since it's easy and you can feed a group of four pretty easy from the same stew pot. Beans and rice make a great protein when combined, if you can't get any meat (I would not want to eat anything foraged in or near the Fallow Mire, f'rex), and they travel well. Things like garlic, turnips and parsnips also travel pretty well.
You can also combine flour, milk (or water), baking powder and a bit of salt for a dough which can then be fried. It comes out somewhere between a biscuit, a pancake and a really thick tortilla (consult your nearest Navajo grandmother for variations on fry bread recipes). You can make a pretty easy berry sauce just by mashing up some berries and letting them simmer until thick. The berry sauce and fry bread go really well together!
Someone I know also makes a pretty fantastic potato salad with potatoes, bacon and apple cider vinegar. Most meat doesn't travel well, but bacon is so salty it should be fine in a backpack for a few days.
If you want to forage in the Western Approach, prickly pear cactus is actually edible. It tastes like a cross between okra and green bell pepper. It's a bit of a pain to prepare (even after removing all the needles), but is pretty good in omelets and salads!
I also make a really good soup out of smoked salmon, which is extremely easy! Just cut the salmon up into chunks and simmer in chicken broth with some chopped green onions for 15 minutes. Add in some spinach and arugula and a can of hominy, cook for another 5 minutes. Smoked salmon can be carried, as can dried hominy, and you could theoretically forage the greens - wild onion and such.
Another thing which I imagine the Dalish eating a lot of is pemmican. You render beef suet (or I suppose druffalo suet), and then mix it with shredded dried meat and minced dried berries (usually cranberries or blueberries). You can add nuts and honey, too, if you like. Form it into little balls - you can eat it for days and meet most of your nutritional needs.
Edit: Pasta! I forgot pasta! Durum or semolina pasta used to be extremely valuable as road food! It keeps forever and is super easy to prepare - just heat up in some water. And hard cheeses, like Parmesan or asiago, also travel pretty well without spoiling. You could probably do up some primitive manicotti or ravioli by wrapping up some meat and veggies in something like lasagna noodles and then grilling.

) - maybe if the ratio is something like 90% bacon to 10% fish.
