New Staub Cocotte- What to Cook for Maiden Voyage?

garthb4903 · January 2018

I decided after two years I am ready to branch out from grilled chicken, ribs, and pork butts! I found a Staub 4 quart cocotte on sale for $99 (sur la table), and want to do something that fits the cookware. What do you recommend for an "easy" first cook?

Brown a chuckie up and then pour in a bunch of stuff

Nice score.

If you want to go simple French but classic, make “eggs en cocotte”. This easy breakfast dish usually features eggs done in individual vessels (max two eggs in each), but I do not see why you could not do more simultaneously in your bigger vessel.

French chicken in a pot.

Carbonnade flamande (Flemish beef and onion stew) would also fare very well...

That seems like it might work well in a Instant Pot.

Definitely would. This Ricardo guy is a huge success in the province of Quebec, Canada. His recipes are simple and delicious. Really worth checking out.
