Le Creuset Recipes - All About Braising

All About Braising – Molly Stevens – Purchase from Amazon

Amazon.com Review

Braising–cooking food slowly and at low temperatures in a closed pot with a little liquid–produces deeply flavorful food. Molly Stevens’s All About Braising is a definitive exploration of this soul-satisfying approach to food. With 125 simple recipes for braises of all kinds–from meat and poultry through seafood and vegetables, plus a thorough anatomy of technique (Stevens explores oven versus stovetop braising, for example)–the book will please cooks at every skill level.

“When I hear ‘crisp vegetables, tender meats, incredible flavor, ONE pot, and ready in less than thirty minutes,’ I say COUNT ME IN! That’s my Quick Fix mantra!

The Dutch Oven Cookbook – Sharon Kramis & Julie Kramis-Hearne - Purchase from Amazon

REVIEW

This is one of the best cookbooks that I have ever purchased. The recipes are simple to follow and do not call for exotic ingredients. The recipes we tried have all come out excellent and I wouldn’t adjust any of the ingredients, cooking times or amounts. Well worth the money! It looks like it will get plenty of use in our house.

My Bread – Jim Lahey – Purchase from Amazon

Review

“Starred Review. The founder of New York’s Sullivan Street Bakery, Lahey started a revolution in 2006 with his no-knead dough technique, in which flour, yeast, salt and water are mixed together quickly, left alone for 12 hours, then baked in a Dutch oven. The baking-averse found themselves suddenly capable of bread-making with a minimum of skill and fuss, opening a world of possibilities. … Once readers have mastered his basic dough (which won’t take long), they’re on their way to crafting homemade pizza, ciabatta, foccacia and rye as well as more playful variations such as peanut butter and jelly bread.

Le Creuset recipes from around the internet

These recipes are not necessarily specific to Le Creuset cookware, but will quickly become some of your favorite Le Creuset recipes

 

Making artisan quality bread at home in a dutch oven – The basic bread dough taken from Jim Lahey’s book. This bread is the foundation for which most of his other bread is built. This is certainly one of the most interesting Le Creuset recipes.

Dutch Oven Chicken Soup – A great recipe for making the classic home cooked soup staple.

Easy Dutch Oven Sweet and Sour Brisket - Easy + Brisket = One of the better, if even a bit unconventional, Le Creuset recipes.

Blood Mary Short Ribs – Ribs may not be the first thing you think of when looking through Le Creuset recipes, but braising the BBQ favorite is a great way to prepare them.

Classic Chili – Though a bare cast iron dutch oven comes to mind for chili, using an enameled cast iron dutch oven will prevent any reaction with the tomatoes and prevent any unwanted, metallic taste. Keep this in mind when looking at other dutch oven or Le Creuset recipes.

Beer Braised Irish Stew and Colcannon - Beef stew meets corned beef and cabbage (and beer!). One of the more tasty Le Creuset recipes inspired by the Irish classic.
