Dutch Oven Cooking

[HornBud]

Just bought a 6.5 Qt enamel coated round. I'm interested in roasting/braising a Boston Butt, brisket, or chicken. Any advice for a beginner? Can you point to any sites you'd recommend?

Also, does anyone have a killer cabbage soup recipe?

Beef Stew

 

[KingKoopa]

you are going to cook a lot of stuff in that thing.

i can't take credit for the following two recipes, but they are fantastic together--only problem is you have to cook one in a regular stockpot since you'll be using the dutch oven.

Smothered Pork Chops

Cabbage + Bacon

they are both emeril recipes. always get rave reviews and the cabbage is flat out awesome.

Thanks for the help, I am really excited about this thing. Any particular tips or advice I should be clued in on?

Son of a Gun Stew
1/2 lb. bacon, sliced into small pieces
2 lbs. cubed beef(round, 7-bone roast, blade, or chuck roast)
1 lb. carrots, sliced
2 lbs. potatoes, diced
2 green peppers, sliced
5 medium stalks celery, diced
2 medium onions, diced
4 cups whole bottled or canned tomatoes
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Fry bacon in 12" dutch oven. Add onions and meat. Saute until brown. Add vegetables and seasonings. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender(probably a couple of hours)

I got this recipe from an old Dutch oven cookbook. It is made to be cooked outdoors, but I have cooked it inside more times than outside, and it always turns out great.

I've made the smothered pork chops that KingKoopa posted. Its a great recipe and one of my favorite football watching recipes. I may make this for New Years while watching the bowl games.

Tex Pete, is the juice from the canned toms the only liquid in that recipe?
