Dutch Oven Recipes

Have had both a Lodge enamel and bare cast iron for like 3 months and have barely used either outside of chili. What y'all got? Thinking carnitas soon.

Taco bell bean burrito for dinner with 6-10 beers

I assume both are home use rather than camping.

If you cook it in a pot or bake it in the over, you can use the Dutch oven.  So.... generic type ideas...

Stovetop

• gumbo
• soups
• beans
• posole rojo
• pot roast
• stews

Oven

• cobblers
• fritatas
• meat loaf
• cornbread
• bake bread

so seriously, if you have a recipe, try in the dutch oven

It's a long process, but Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon recipe makes heavy use of a dutch oven and is absolutely delicious.  Peeling those pearl onions sucks.

Started these an hour ago. Two hours to go. Fuck it no class until 1.

Homesick Texan recipe. Would again.

Damn!  Perfection

Girlfriend bought a new Lodge dutch oven that we used this weekend when we were camping.  Made beer bread, garlic parmesan potatoes, and a blackberry/peach cobbler.  I was a little nervous about using it for the first time on the trip but everything turned out really good.  Plus, it was kind of cool using campfire coals as the heat source.

Yea it was so basic had my doubts. Turns out pork doesn’t need much help being delicious 

[Jerry Callo 8626]

I did a Mexican pot roast a couple weeks ago.  Really easy.  

Usually serve it on tortillas, but this last time my daughter and I made cornbread waffles.

[staboner 4938]

for the cast iron - if you have a gas range - best way to cook red meat. ribeyes, lamb steaks, pork chops, etc. 

for the enamel, stews a nice. braising always nice. look up some nice meat and veggies braises for the enamel. save the stock for bonus wins.

Wife cooks beef bourguignon every few months.  It is outstanding.  Enamel.

Made this schweinebraten in my enamel dutch oven yesterday:

Used this recipe as a go-by (didn't use leeks, changed proportions a bit on some other stuff, but generally followed the technique).  It was out-fucking-standing.

Damn man, were you able to get that crisped up in the dutch oven or did you throw the shredded pork under the broiler for a couple of minutes?

If you simmer the pork chunks in the dutch oven, eventually the liquid cooks off, leaving behind the fat.  Crisp the chunks in the dutch oven in that fat.  It requires attention to the pot as the last liquid dissolves....but man, it's good stuff.

[Hank_Hill 17563]

That was all dutch. Just put it in that dish for pulling. Few bits were over done (oh no crispy pork) but overall pretty much perfect.

[TornACL 7652]

That's impressive. I'll have to try that for one of the tailgates this year.  Usually I just smoke a pork shoulder but the crispy carnitas texture is >>>>>

Huh.  I just stir my carnitas with a spatula, but to each his own.

Dutch oven is perfect for any meats like short ribs or shanks that need to be browned or seared before slowly braising.  Not gonna post recipes, but usually after the meat searing, you take the meat aside and saute the aromatics in the pan juices until soft, add back the meat and other veggies and wine/stock and finish in a slow oven for many hours until the meat is tender.  Then pull the meat and reduce the stock until it reaches the desired viscosity.  Don't salt or season before that point or you will be screwed with a sauce that is way too salty.  Not to hijack, but an Insta-pot or an electric pressure cooker does this kinda stuff really well, too.

You stole my joke!

I was going to add "super pissed off wife".

[NateHitch 1282]

I only use our dutch oven when we camp and it's been a while but from what I remember:

Stew meat

Can of golden mushroom soup

Beef broth or water, whatever you have

Can of tomato paste

Whatever veggies you like: celery, jalapeno, carrots, onion, garlic, potato 

Whatever seasonings you feel like, you can't screw this up.

Cook it for many several hours and it'll be good as fuck

I've done that recipe in the instant pot.  Not quite as good, but took about 2.5 hours instead of 6.

[idahorn 26]

Cherry chocolate dumP cake (not dumb)  

1 box Devil's food cake mix (I usually add a teaspoon of shredded coconut and tell diners that "It looks like weevils got into the cake mix.")

 1 can of red  cherries in syrup 

20 oz bottle of cherry coke

Pour cherries into Dutch oven, sprinkle cake mix over the cherries (with or without weevils), and pour on the cherry coke.

I've only done this on raft trips with a 12" Dutch, but this is the charcoal distribution: 5 or 6 underneath the oven, 20 on the outside rim of the lid, and 3 or 4 on the middle the rim

First you make a roux

Then you make a gumbo

Dark as my soul, I like it.

[idahorn 26]

Bert--that looks like Prudhomme's seafood and sausage gumbo--?

[TornACL 7652]

Looks like Armybrat's recipe.
