Bushmoot Dutch Oven Workshop

[Earthgirl]

Hello Folks

I know it's been a long time since I last posted, I was the one last year that cooked the welsh cakes on the makers day
I also did the cheese and beer damper bread workshop.
I've been asked if I'd like to do the same this year and also do some more workshops on 'Dutch Oven' cooking.
I'm looking for ideas from those that are going this year if there is anything that they would like to see cooked in a 'Dutch Oven' that we could all do as a workshop ???

By the way I'm definitely looking forward to Tim's pizza oven and shall be the first in the queue
I'm also hoping to do a couple of workshops for the little-uns, maybe jam jar tealight holders again and also some kind of woodland garlands involving twig stars, amongst other things

I look forward to any ideas...

Thanks for reading looking forward to the Bushmoot now

Something gluten-free would be good

 

[Earthgirl]

Thanks for the reply's guys I guess any thread where food is in involved gets the old taste buds going...

Anything in particular Womble_Lancs that's gluten free that you would like to have a go at?

I know we all cook 'one pot' meals and bread of various sorts in a Dutch Oven but I was wondering if there was anything that folks would like to try that they wouldn't necessarily cook for themselves...

So far I've come up with Banana Fritters, easy batter to make and you don't even need a dutch oven to cook it really, just a deep pan would suffice...

Sorry for the late reply, what with all this fabulous weather the temptation to play with our outdoor 'Toys' is just to much at the moment

It would be good to do like a meal, as in main course, and pudding with stacked ovens or some such.

I'm just happy to get more time using the dutch ovens

I'd like to try making proper bread in the Dutch

 

[Earthgirl]

No problem Tadpole, I've been practising a no knead recipe based on the one Catrablue posted last year

Hopefully we'll be trying it this year at the bushmoot, it's not perfect yet but is definitely edible

I would still like some ideas for a possible main course and dessert to cook please

Here's a delicious one... I do half the quantities for it

INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds ground beef
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
4 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) stewed tomatoes
8 medium carrots, thinly sliced
4 celery ribs, thinly sliced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups water (I also added 1 pouch of onion soup mix)
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 to 2 tablespoons salt
1 to 2 teaspoons pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Cook beef and onions over medium heat; drain.
Add tomatoes, carrots, celery, potatoes, water, rice, salt and pepper;
bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes until vegetables and rice are tender.
Uncover; simmer 20-30 minutes longer or until thickened!

LOL, brilliant. Of course mine is upgraded but we won't go into that! That will have to be a quote for up the NC, "What's this Chef?" "Warriors drink!!"

 

[woodstock]

There is a android app for dutch oven cooking believe it or not.

 

[Earthgirl]

Some lovely recipe replies and thanks for taking the time to type them out

I'm certainly no expert in Dutch oven cooking and I'm looking forward to trying some of them

Enjoying the fact that between us all we might get some kind of workshop organised
