I received an enameled dutch oven as one of our wedding gifts and am really excited about it. I want to cook some really cool stuff in it, s
o does anybody have good dutch oven recipes?
Last night I made a Turkey Chili Mac recipe that is very tasty, but I probably could have managed the recipe without a dutch oven, it just used the stovetop. So I'm especially looking for anything that goes stove to oven so I can have fun with the unique things a dutch oven can do.
Also, dutch oven jokes get made every time we talk about it. And it makes me think of how The Soup used to regularly make fun of a dutch oven cooking show. Fun times in the kitchen.
Re: Dutch Oven Recipes
What kind did you get? I have a Le Creuset obsession
My favourite recipes to make are the classics. Coq au vin, osso bucco, short ribs. You brown them in the pot, add everything else and throw in the oven. We also make gumbo in ours but leave it on the stovetop, but it holds the heat better when serving at the table.
I spend the winter making soups, chili, braises, etc. in mine.
I love this recipe, especially because it's sized for 2 people
