Po’ Boy sandwiches!

What exactly is it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po’_boy

I wanted to have a long go with some outdoor cooking, since I’ve missed a weekend, which is killing, of course, but nevertheless necessary. I really couldn’t make it last weekend.

So, to have a go, I fired up the coal starter and went into the kitchen for some preparation. I had some Butler Steak (about 1,5 kg) and chopped up 2 unions and a complete fresh ball of garlic. Garlic is ALWAYS good! I also made some cajun herbs myself, since I’ve read that factory prepared cajun consists of 60% salt, which I didn’t want.

Chicken Stew in the DO

Yesterday I had the craving of doing something from charcoal again, and I must say, the weather was fine. No rain, temperature around 7 degrees celcius and little to no wind. My son was in the mood for helping me as well, so I thought, what the heck, let’s fire it up.

Chicken agro dulce is a very nice stew recipe that give a nice fresh, a little bit sour, flavour. It’s worth it and actually it’s pretty simple to do, if you plan it well.

Pulled Pork, Dutch Oven style

I’ve been doing pulled pork now for quite some time, but this will be my first in the DO. I’ll try to recreate the process right here.

I’ve started out with a big piece of porks neck (around 2,5 kg) and put some oil in my DO. I’ve put the meat in there as is, so no seasoning or injecting of any kind.
I’ve created a nice sauce, consisting of the following.

Home made bread with our cast iron pot

I’ve got my cast iron dutch oven now for about half a year, and I’ve done some different things with it already, but one thing I haven’t done yet is baking bread in it. I had a beautiful Boeuf Bourguignon done yesterday, so I thouht I bake some bread to go with it.

It was really easy and very good!
