Dutch Oven

clucker · 10-01-2006, 09:39 AM

I have a ton of recipes to share. Was just wondering how many of you use a dutch oven. It's one of my favorite cooking styles.

Duck with Sauerkraut

2 qt saurkraut
2 med onion, quartered
3 tbs brown sugar
salt and pepper
1 cup water
1 whole duck, cleaned of course

Bake duck in dutch oven about 375 for 25 to 30 min. Pour on sauerkraut, water, onions, brown sugar, salt and pepper over duck and stir well. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Good with mashed potatoes.

I LOVE cooking in my dutch oven...strangely enough, I hadn't thought about it as far as my wild game goes...that opens up a ton of new possibilities!

Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I talk to Trappinfreak all the time through email and he use to be on the NGPC board , he does a lot of cooking with a dutch oven , however I have a question for all you dutch oven guys ... At one point he mentioned that it was Cabela's I believe that has a dutch oven cooking type contest [I'll ask him again , yet I'm sure he said Cabela's] ...

My question is how many of you guys ever take part in any of these type of events ? ... I wouldn't mind going to a few of them in all honesty :zthumbup: ...

I have a small dutch oven. I'm not really good with it yet, but I like the way it cooks.

Never taken part in one. I think it would be a ton of fun to figure out a good menu and give it a whirl sometime. I'm thinking some sort of Elk dish would work well.

Anyone got anymore info on how to cook with a dutch oven? Id really like to get one and try it out.

Dutch Oven,

Ingredients:

1 duck
1 lemon (sliced into chunks)
1 onion (sliced into chunks)

Once your duck has been plucked, flamed and cleaned, place the lemon and onion (previously cut up in smaller pieces) inside the fowl. Place the stuffed duck into a cool storage area (cooler or refrigerator) for approximately 24 hours. Then remove and discard the onion and lemon chunks. VoilÃƒÂ* ...it is ready to cook.

(The above step is supose to remove any fishy or muddy taste from your ducks)

Ingredients:

1 duck (quartered)
Oil (to coat bottom of Dutch oven)
1 cup of liquid (wine, water, beer etc.)
Salt, pepper, spices to taste
Brandy (optional)

Use a Dutch oven. Start by sauteing quartered pieces of duck using available fat, grease or oil until they are brown on all sides. If you know how to flambÃƒÂ© with a brandy, do it now. Then pour a cup of liquid ( dry red wine, a soda pop, water...) over the duck and cover. Let it cook slowly for half an hour. Turn the pieces around and cook again for fifteen minutes (baste all pieces each time they are turned). Repeat turning the pieces after ten more minutes. A sauce can be made separately which will coat the duck at the time of serving.

Ty,

Here's a book (see below) that I've had for quite a while. They do a good job explaining the basics...everything from purchasing your oven, seasoning it, cook tips, and a ton of recipes. There are a ton of good books out there, I'm sure. I've used this one for quite a while now and it's been pretty helpful.

Click on the book cover for more information...

Hope this helps...
