Dutch oven recipes

hawkegg

I just seasoned the BGE dutch oven I got for X-mas. Does anyone have killer recipes for it. IE stus, or soups. I did go to a dutch oven site that had several but it listed how many briquets to put under and on top of the oven. How do you convert to egg temp.

hawkegg,[p]Dern Good Chili a la Big Green Egg[p]I made this chili last night. My guests raved about it, saying it was the best chili they had ever had in their life (and they are a tough crowd). Said I should enter a contest, but I know I never will. They all asked for the recipe, but none have and Egg (yet). So I thought I’d share what I did here. Let me know what you think. [p]2 lbs cheap beef (pot roast cut) – coated with Dizzy Pig Raising the Steaks
2 lbs boneless pork ribs – coated with Dizzy Pig Tsunami Spin[p]Roasted at 275, indirect with inverted plate setter and drip pan with water, until 160. Let rest then cubed.[p]While roasting meat, put 6 large roma tomatoes on 3 Anaheim peppers on the ‘exposed’ sides of the plate setter set-up so they were charred black on all sides (not all at once, of course due to room, but one after the other). Pulled, peeled and chopped.[p]Also, while roasting meat, combined 6 T chili powder, 2 T ground cumin. 1 T Hungarian paprika, 2 t beef bullion powder, 2 t oregano, 2 t sugar and 1 T ground coriander.[p]Also while roasting meat, chopped two med onions and 6 cloves of garlic and slow cooked in dutch oven for about 10 min. Then poured 2 bottles of beer – one domestic (MGD) and one foreign stout in dutch oven. Added spices and brought to a boil. Added tomatoes, peppers and meat. Put in the Egg with dutch oven lid ON at 200. Let simmer for about 3 hours. [p]30 min before serving threw several dry pieces of mesquite in the Egg and took the dutch oven lid OFF. Let smoke.[p]Pulled dutch oven off egg and stirred in the juice of one large lime and about ½ cup of sour cream into the chili.[p]Served with sliced green onion, halved grape tomatoes, sliced avocado, sour cream and cheddar cheese.[p]One guest called me this morning to tell me she dreamed about it last night.

hawkegg,[p]I, too, got a dutch oven for Christmas. I will probably look to season it tomorrow. The rainy weather in Atlanta has delayed this a bit.[p]However, I did initiate a post on this the other day and was given this website. Check it out.[p]http://papadutch.home.comcast.net/~papadutch/[p]I found it interesting because I am completely ignorant on using a dutch oven[p]Happy Holidays,

Hawkegg,

Beer Brats are Easy AND Good! Throw Brats (or sausage) in beer cook. Sear after if you so desire...

East Cobb Eggy,
I have played on that site to. Lots of useful info. How do you convert temp when they tell you 12 briquettes on bottom 6 on top. I suppose you can judge med/high.

hawkegg,[p]I am not too sure on the translation either.[p]I think I was just looking at it for recipes of what to cook and not really temps and times.[p]However when I did make my last post, I was told not to use the cover on the dutch oven. It would be like "showering with a rain coat".[p]I think I will take this advice since everyone in the house likes the smoke flavor and always seem to want me to add more.[p]Greg

hawkegg,
Happy new year. Try your Betty Crocker cookbook. On your Egg or with briquettes in the open you can make just about anything in a Dutch Oven. As with anything else, the first couple of tries might turn out interesting but you gotta start somewhere.
