I just got one and cant wait to use it. Specifically, I am looking for a great chicken and rice recipe, but I'll take others too. No pork or dairy recipes please - just chicken, meat or fish.
Thanks! |
| I always cook a pot roast in this type of dish -- just google "ducth over pot roast" |
I'm sure you'll get lots of chicken & rice recipes, but you'll want to keep this on hand: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html Best thing you can make in a dutch oven... |
| coq au vin, beef bourginon, braised short ribs (use barefoot contessa recipes for those 3), any type of chili |
|
Steel-cut oats: 2 cups organic steel-cut oats in pot + 7 cups water. Lid on - heat to a boil. Turn off burner and monitor until threat of boil over is passed (you may have to crack the lid for a bit - it only takes a minute to monitor this stage. I do it while tidying up kitchen at night). Then replace lid and leave on burner over night. In the morning = ready to re-heat in microwave and store in fridge for healthy breakfasts all week. If you want to add raisins (and I always do) add at first boil.
Traditional cooking time = one full hour + stirring. |
| Leave on the stove w/the burner OFF overnight of course. Not sure if this was clear ... |
| I just got one too! I'm making coq au vin (from the Williams-Sonoma catalog) for my first run. Will let you know how it turns out! |

1) No Knead Bread
2) Beef Stew/Beef Burgundy 4) Chili |

Cholent....
It's a Jewish Shabat meal. It cooks on low for like 10 hours. Brisket, beans, rice, barley, potatoes, eggs in shells. Each food is separated with cheese cloth so it's not like a bit pot of mess. When it's done cooking you separate the different dishes. Everything has the most amazing meaty flavor.....I especially like the eggs. They are obviously hard boiled and actually turn brown all the way to the yolk with all the meat juices. There are plenty of recipes availabe by google for this. It's one of those things that takes a few tries to get right but once you do it was well worth the failed attempts! If you're looking for a challenge with great rewards try this!!! |
OP here- I've been making/eating cholent for 20 yrs and, while your way sounds great, I just throw all ingredients together in a crock-pot. I cant really imagine making it with cheesecloths - kind of defeats the purpose of having a quick easy meal for me

| Pork roast & buttered noodles. Yum! |

This must be served after fasting and/or with LOTS of booze, otherwise it sounds disgusting. |
Its basically just a beef stew. Its beef, potatoes, barley and beans. Whats disgusting about it? |

I use my Le Creuset 7qt. all the time. Here are a few recipes I make regularly:
- NYTimes no knead bread recipe - tomato soup (quadruple the recipe and freeze leftovers) - chili - roast chicken - any kind of soup |
That's wierd....we've always done it this way! I guess I should clarify....you only put the rice or barley and beans in cheese clothes. So really just two things in cheese cloths. |
