Hey relin, have you got any more details, especially on the Sri Lankan slow cooked curries

I will write up the recipe and list how to do the variations. My wife lived there for a while and we did a cookery course while on a visit so i wrote down the recipes, perfect for a one pot wonder!

My best Dutch oven recipes have come from "Potjiekos" by Me Natalle.
This even has a recipe for cooking a whole Elephant!

We had a Scout camp a few years ago where all the Leaders meals were cooked in DO's...more info here. EDIT:Soppy bugger that I am, I just reread this thread & the final post was from Drew. Brought a lump to my throat.

We also did some stacked DO's at the Tamarack Tribe Rendezvous last year. Lasagne, garlic and rosemary bread followed by apple & cinnamon crumble...

The garlic & rosemary bread...

It can be adapted to ingredients / mixes available in your neck of the woods.

That looks mighty good Gordon

Any vegetarians that use the Dutch oven much or is it mostly meat eaters?

Don't forget to download you Dutch Oven calculator, available on the Android store at least.

Which one as there are a few can you recommend one as it looks like a very useful app.

Hard to beat a Full Lamb Dinner in my opinion, but for sheer entertainment value, Twodog's Chicken and Chips with Sasquatch's bread will get my vote:

My favourite group meal has been MartinK9's and Cliff's Roast lamb that I have had several times. The best solo cook one I have done was a beef stew involving lots of veg a can of Bass and a can of Guiness and a glass of red wine, not put in all together but at different points of the cooking. The whole thing lasted several meals and I kept in a slow heat for a day made me happy. With thinking about DO cooking, I think i will have to get mine out again this weekend

stews n chilli etc are staple but i always like to do a roast of some sort when out

fav is whole lamb shoulder very slow roast till it melts of the bone with Fresh rosemary and Garlic on top of some veg to keep it of the bottom and make the Port (half bottle) Gravy with the juices add in a Zebra 16cm Billy to boil up some mixed root veg ruff mashed and plain (lamb is rich enough)

slow cook is best as you cant really cock it up good 1/2 Hr hot sizzle on high then lift it up and a few embers etc on top and leave for 3-5hrs ish
pretty sure these photos are up on here several times but hey




wood mark 9 for 1/2hr



wood mark 2 for 3-5hrs ish



rest



make the Port gravy






also Like Roast chicken either 2-4 Poussin (Whole baby chicken 1 each) with roast potatoes carrots etc under the birds or a full sized bird spatchcocked to fit and Fat chips etc
