JB at the office thought it was time for some food photos. I concur.
Saturday afternoon we prepared the dutch oven to cook a pot roast over the firepit.
The recipe I used was Byron's "Dutch Oven Pot Roast; http://papadutch.home.comcast.net/~papadutch/dutch-oven-recipe-potroast.htm
Most recipes direct cooking the dutch over with charcoal. But we have plenty of wood on hand for the main heat below the fire grate. I only used charcoal on top of the oven. The trouble was a south wind at 20 MPH. More wood was needed to maintain a constant temperature, as was shifting the wood coals around to keep from over heating the oven. All in all, it was over a 3 hour cook.
The end result was delicious! And thanks to Mark's Black Pot for the great tips and information cooking with dutch ovens. http://marksblackpot.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteThere you are impressing us with your photos and your cooking again! & IT is VERY impressive! Wish I was closer so I could barge in an taste some.
ReplyDeleteLooks very much like my Hungarian Goulash attempt a few months back, which unfortunately didn't turn out (meat was tough and dry). Thanks for the link, next time I'll try one of those recipes.
ReplyDeleteWith the cold weather coming I think stews will be on the menu a lot. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteGood call JB at Work! D.L., were you a pioneer in another life? I am so impressed with this chuckwagon method ( I saw a competition on Food Network) ! It looks divine. I am going after the recipe and putting it in my new crock pot. I was NOT a pioneer in another life. I was a wealthy Parisian lady living in a fabulous apartment overlooking the Louvre!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kudos! I'm glad your first dutch oven attempt was such a suuccess!
ReplyDeleteWell, you've succeeded in making "Louis" hungry...

That looks delicious! My dad used to put them in a hole and cover them up for awhile.
ReplyDeleteOh yummmm!!! That's what we call "Potjie kos" - a traditional South African dish. "Potjie" - referring to the black pot and "kos" refers to the food.
