Tis The Season

Yesterday officially opened the Dutch Oven season for me. I had the opportunity to participate in a Dutch Oven cook-off and I really enjoyed sharing a new recipe that I made up earlier in the week. It’s a simple and tasty potato and sausage dish.

Put 3/4 inch of water in the bottom of the oven and sprinkle in garlic salt, oregano, and basil. Fill with chunks of peeled potatoes until they are just above the water level. Cover with a layer of polish sausages sliced up and then bake for 90 minutes with 12 briquettes below and 12 briquettes on top of the oven. The water should be gone (or nearly gone) by the time it is done baking.

Dutch Oven Saturday

One of the things I enjoy doing is cooking in my dutch oven. Last summer I started a habit of cooking in the dutch oven every Saturday (nearly) and I liked it enough to decide to do it again this year. Because the dutch oven cooks much more than we can eat (until our kids get older) we sometimes invited friends over to share the meal with us. This year I want to make an open invitation for anyone to come share our Dutch Oven Saturdays. The only condition is that you have to tell me in advance when you are coming – in case it happens to be a week that I can’t do it (there will be a few of those).

Technically this invitation is open to everybody although it’s not really reasonable for anyone outside of the more populous areas of Utah to expect to get here. If you want to come and need directions to my house just leave a comment and I will be happy to get back to you.

If you have a good dutch oven recipe to share I would love to hear about it – I’m always collecting new ones.
