Dutch Ovens

taco084gb — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:59:57 GMT

So who out there cooks with Dutch ovens? Also where and how have you aquired them? i.e family,store,garage sale.
My collection consists of a 3 generation Wagner 10" deep,silver in color and a awesome coating in it, 12" Lodge with the legs underneath,12" frying pan with lid, 16" Caphalon griddle,smooth on one side and ridges on the other, 10" deep Wagner a little shallower than the Silver one. These old style ovens are damn fun to use and a great camping addition. Even use them at home a lot.

Sweet and sour chicken

tex — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:05:08 GMT

I got this from my mom and have made it once and there is another batch cooking as I type this. Very good and easy to make.

3 chicken breast
1 bell pepper
1 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup catsup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup sugar
1 can pineabpple tidbits
3 tablespoons corn starch

I boil the chicken in water and while it is cooking I put everything else in a crock pot. Once the chicken is cooked I cut it up to desired size and add to the pot.
I will put the crock pot on high for about 1 hour then low or warm till ready to eat. Mine sat on low for about 6 hours last time.
Once you are ready to eat cook some rice and serve over rice.

I had to double the recepie for 5 guys and added 1 chicken breast for a total of 4 breast.

ingredients:

1 can chopped olives (4 oz)
5 slices of ham ( i used turkey)
1 table spoon butter (i cant belive its not butter works too:p)

2 tortillas ( i used mission carb healthy something-er-other burrito size)

*OPTIONAL*
onion (i used dehydrated bottled stuff)

how to make:

in pan, sautee onions first, if you want'em, until caramelized. add olives and ham. i cooked at a medium heat for like 10 minutes. when all is nice and hot, add cheese and remove from heat. mix cheese nice n sticky like. put nice sized glob on war tortilla. and crap you may like ( sour cream, salsa, guacamole). im thinking of making a breakfast variation and adding some egg and bacon. or maybe one with rotisserie chicken:p:p.

The Cubano Sandwich

Agent475 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:19:44 GMT

Good day! I wanted to pass along a recipe for a sandwich that is probably my favorite sandwich...

From Wikipedia: The origin of the Cuban sandwich (sometimes called a "Cuban mix", "Mixto sandwich", or "Cuban Pressed Sandwich") is somewhat murky. The sandwich became a common lunch food for workers in both the cigar factories and sugar mills of Cuba and the cigar factories of Ybor City around 1900.

At that time, travel between Cuba and Florida was easy, and Cubans frequently sailed back and forth for employment, pleasure, and family visits. Because of this constant and largely undocumented movement of people and culture and ideas, it�s impossible to say exactly when and where the Cuban sandwich first became a common worker�s meal. By around 1910, however, workers� caf�s in Ybor City, Key West, and Cuba were serving many such sandwiches daily.

In Cuba (where it is more commonly known as a mixto), the sandwich was served in kiosks, coffee bars and casual restaurants, especially in the big cities such as Havana or Santiago de Cuba. By the 1960s, Cuban sandwiches were also common on Miami cafeteria and restaurant menus, as the city had gained a large influx of Cuban residents after the Fidel Castro's 1959 rise to power in their native land.

I pulled the pics off the net because I didn't take any last night when I made it.

You'll need:
Meat
-Pork Roast
-Sliced Deli Ham
-Swiss Cheese

Condiments:
-Butter
-Mayo
-Yellow Mustard

Other:
-Sub-Rolls
-Sliced Dill Pickles
-Salt/Pepper
-Garlic Powder
-Olive Oil
-Square Pyrex Dish

To make:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-Take a skillet and preheat it on the stove, LIGHTLY coating the skillet with Olive Oil
-Take a square glass Pyrex dish and LIGHTLY coat the bottom with Olive Oil... (Not Extra Virigin Olive Oil or EVOO like that Homo Rachel Ray says), but regular Olive Oil....
-Place the 2.5 pound Pork Roast (enough for about 6-8 sandwichs) into the pyrex dish and lightly salt with 2 pinches of salt (don't over salt or it'll be too salty)
-Coat the exterior of the pork roast with black pepper and sprinkle on the garlic powder
-Take the pork roast and place it in the hot skillet... Your goal is to lightly sear the exterior, sealing the spices onto the pork roast. Do this on each side for about 2 minutes each.
-Place the seared pork roast back in the pyrex dish, and place in the oven for 30-50 minutes. Be sure the center of the pork roast reaches 160 degrees using a handy meat thermometer.
-Once it is cooked, pull it out of oven (using oven mits) and let it rest for AT LEAST 15 minutes. (You will want to cut it and eat it probably, but resist at all costs). By resting the meat, you allow the juices to redistribute in the meat and you let it cool and firm up some so you can slice it easier.

Sandwich Prep:
-On a cutting board, slice the pork roast into 1/8 inch thick (or so) slices
-Cut your sub roll open
-Spread butter on one side of the bread
-Spread Mayo on the other side
-Squirt on some mustard
-Add sliced swiss cheese
-Place warm pork roast on top of the cheese
-Add 2-3 slices of sliced ham
-Add sliced dill pickle

Finish:
-I usually close the sandwich and add 2 toothpicks to each side, completing it with a diagonal slide down the center.

-Optional: Some like to put this sandwich in a sandwich press to heat it, but I myself prefer to skip this step.

-If you know how to make a Mojito, I like to serve it with that as well:
