Peachy Dutch Oven French Toast
www.idos.com

1 dozen eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 loaf French or Italian bread, sliced
1/2 lb. butter or margarine
1 lb. brown sugar
3 (16 ounce) cans peaches, drained and quartered

Heat a large Dutch oven by covering it with coals for 15 minutes.

Beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Slice the bread and let it soak in the egg mixture.

Remove preheated oven from coals and melt butter in the bottom. Add brown sugar and mix well with butter until caramelized. Put the drained peaches over the caramelized sugar. Place the egg/bread mixture on top of the peaches, cover with lid and return the Dutch oven to the coals.

Bake 45 minutes at about 350 degrees (17 coals on top; 8 on bottom). For the first 10 minutes, use coals only on the bottom. Then add coals to the oven top and continue baking until done. With the caramel topping, you probably won't even need syrup.

 

 


Scotch Eggs
(www.idos.com)

 

This doesn't really need exact quantities but this is what I used:

6 Large Eggs (Hard Boiled approx. 14 minutes)
1 Large uncooked Egg beaten for coating
2 Cups Bread Crumbs in a separate bowl for coating
2-3 cups Sausage Mince or l packet from Supermarket as shown
1/2 Cup Hamburger Helper (this is optional)
1 Tablespoon chopped Parsley
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder (optional)
Pinch of Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper
1/2 cup plain (all purpose) flour
Spray Can Oil

After boiling the eggs drain and rinse under cold water and store in a plastic container (this stops any black ring forming)/
Into a bowl put sausage mince, hamburger helper and spices and mix all together and divide into 6.
Peel the eggs and roll in the plain flour.
Using flour on your hands if necessary flatten a piece of sausage mince on the palm of your hand and then place an egg in the middle and squeeze the mince around the egg so it is encased in mince.
Dip this into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs.
Lightly spray with vegetable oil.
Bake in camp (dutch) oven at 350C/180F for about 40 minutes or until a deep golden brown.
Let cool and slice into four.
If you have some cracks use the line of the cracks when cutting.


 No Fry Buffalo Style Wings
(www.idos.com) -



4 lbs. chicken wings, disjointed, tips discarded or 3 lbs. frozen appetizer wings, thawed
½ Tbs. salt
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp. granulated garlic
2 14 oz. cans chicken broth (3 cups)
Dash of hot sauce (not Tabasco)
¾ cup your favorite vinegar based hot sauce
¼ cup melted butter


Clean and separate wing sections at each joint and discard the wing tip section or save the tips to make chicken stock. In a one gallon zip-lock type bag place the wings, salt, pepper, garlic, broth, and a dash or two of the hot sauce. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible and gently massage to combine ingredients. Chill and let brine 2 to 4 hours.

Oil and preheat a Dutch oven and drain the brine from the wings. Place the drained wings into the Dutch oven, cover and bake at 375° for 35 to 45 minutes, gently stirring occasionally to prevent wings from sticking. Drain liquid from wings and use as a chicken broth in another dish. Add hot sauce and butter to the wings and toss or stir to coat all the wings. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks and lots of napkins.

 


Whiskey Glazed New York Steaks
(www.idos.com) -

4 New York steaks, 10 to 12 oz. each (1 inch thick)
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
¾ tsp. all-purpose flour
¼ c. whiskey
3 Tbs. water
¼ tsp. sugar

Season steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a 12” Dutch oven over high heat until hot. (15 to 18 bottom coals) Cook 4 minutes, turn over steaks.
Reduce heat to medium high; cook 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. (12 to 15 coals) Remove Dutch oven from heat; place steaks on warmed Dutch oven lid flipped upside down.
Pour all but 1 Tbs. of the drippings from Dutch oven and stir in the flour. Cook over medium heat (10 to 12 coals) for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring consistently. Whisk in whiskey, water and sugar. Bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the Dutch oven to loosen the brown bits and stir into sauce. Spoon sauce over steaks.
Serves 4
This technique of scraping the bottom of the pan or pot where liquid is used to loosen the brown bits is called “deglazing”. This is a great way to make great sauces and gravies.

Sweet and Sour Hawaiian Ribs
(www.idos.com) -

2 strips of bacon
1/2 onion
1 can of Manwich sauce
1/2 cup of pineapple preserves
1 whole pineapple cut into slices
1 nice rack of baby back ribs

Using a skillet, fry up the bacon and crumble it into pieces. Add the onions and saute until soft. Next you put in the Manwhich sauce and the pineapple preserves. Using a preheated oblong dutch oven, line the bottom with pineapple slices. Using the lid to your preheated dutch, brown your ribs slightly on both sides. Put the browned ribs on the pineapple. Rub generously with the sauce you made earlier. Place the lid on and put it on the coals to cook. We usually do about 10 on the bottom and 20 on top, but it depends on the day and the weather and how long you want them to cook. We will usually cook them for 1 hour and then douse them with more sauce. Then we take off some of the coals and let it cook on a lower heat for 1 more hour. After that we will remove it from the heat, and let it rest in the dutch with the lid on for a half hour to an hour depending on how much time we have. The longer it can rest, the better it tastes. Finally, we heat it up one last time for about a half hour and then we will present it on the lid with the pineapples it cooked with. We will also put more sauce on to taste.

New Mexican Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Potato Tamale and Pecan Butter
(www.idos.com)

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
Salt
New Mexican Spice Rub, recipe follows
Bourbon-Ancho Sauce, recipe follows
Sweet Potato Tamale with Pecan Butter, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan, over high heat. Season pork with salt on both sides. Dredge pork in the spice rub and tap off any excess. Sear the pork on both sides until golden brown. Cook in the oven to medium doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 12 slices. Plate 3 slices per plate. Drizzle with the Bourbon-Ancho Sauce. Place a Sweet Potato Tamale, topped with Pecan Butter next to the slices of pork.

New Mexican Rub:

2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pasilla chile powder
2 teaspoons chile de arbol
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons allspice
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

Bourbon-Ancho Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, finely chopped
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons bourbon
3 ancho chiles, soaked, seeded, stems removed and pureed
6 cups homemade chicken stock
1 cup apple juice concentrate, thawed
8 whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup light brown sugar
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the bourbon and cook until completely reduced. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until reduced by half. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, return mixture to the pan, and cook to sauce consistency, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of bourbon and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt.

Sweet Potato Tamales: 20 dried corn husks 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels, preferable fresh 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped 1 head roasted garlic, cloves removed 2 cups chicken stock or water 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 tablespoons vegetable shortening 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal 1 tablespoon honey Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 large or 2 medium sweet potato, roasted at 375 degrees for about 1 hour or until soft, then peeled and flesh mashed 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon ground allspice 3 tablespoons maple syrup Pecan Butter, recipe follows

About 2 hours before you plan to form the tamales, clean the husks under running water. Soak them in warm water for 2 hours, or until softened.

Puree the corn, onion, roasted garlic, and stock in a food processor. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and cut in the butter and shortening. Using your fingers, mix in the cornmeal, honey, and salt and pepper until there are no visible lumps of fat. Fold in the sweet potato puree, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and maple syrup. The mixture will be a lot looser than you think it should be, but when the tamales are steamed it will dry out.

Remove the cornhusks from the water and set aside the best 20 husks. Drain and pat dry. Tear the remaining husks into 1-inch wide strips to be used for tying. Lay 2 husks flat on a work surface, with the tapered ends facing out and the broad bases overlapping by about 3 inches. Place about 1/3 cup of masa mixture in the center. Bring the long sides up over the masa, slightly overlapping, and pat down to close. (If the masa drips out a little at the seam, that is no problem.) Tie each end of the bundle with a strip of cornhusk, pushing the filling toward the middle as you tie. Trim the ends to about 1/2-inch beyond the tie.

Arrange the tamales in a single layer on a steaming rack, cover tightly with foil, and steam over boiling water for 45 minutes. To Serve: slice a slit on top of each tamale and push both ends of the tamale toward the middle to expose the masa. Top each with 1 tablespoon of Pecan Butter.

Pecan Butter: 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 1/4 cup toasted pecans, finely chopped 3 tablespoons maple syrup Pinch cinnamon Salt and freshly ground pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Scrape into a ramekin and refrigerate until solid, about 2 hours.
