Did some stew today in a refurbished dutch oven. It is GOOD!
I did the Samurai Tailor thing to a couple of carrots, a half a small onion, and a big 'tater. Opened a bag of stew meat and some baby broccoli, for a bit of broccoli.
Put the meat in the charcoal fired dutch oven...brown baby, brown.
Then poured off the oil after the meat browned and added a can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of cream of celery soup, with water to cover, along with a couple of teaspoons of beef Better than Bouillon. Put it on the fire to warm up.
Started some more coals while the stew was warming up. Time to sit down and grab a cold be...I mean time to slave over a hot fire.
Put in some Kitchen Bouquet for some browning of the gravy.
Put some more coals on to get things warming up. Took a couple of coals off the top after it started getting to get cooking well.
I think we are done.
Had to have some cornbread in the cast iron cornbread maker.
I'm full.
Did I say it was good stuff?
Broke in my newly refurbished 20 year old dutch oven.
It worked great, and the oven looks great after cleaning and an initial oiling after the cook.
