So I'm starting this thread because if there's three cooking utensils that have always followed me wherever I go, it's my non-stick skillet, by cast iron skillet, and my dutch oven. I've realized though that the dutch oven is probably the most versatile of them all, which made me interested to see what other people cook in their dutch oven.
Here's one i made this morning. It's a spinach blend coconut rice with cream fatalii peppers and benton's bacon. Cook the bacon, then cook the chopped pepper and chopped onion in the bacon fat for a bit. Next add 1.5-2cups of rice and let that cook up for a while longer. I chose to add more bacon fat at this point. Next, I put in some freshly picked malabar spinach and callaloo which is a caribbean type amaranth spinach. Finally, I added some vegetable broth and coconut milk to cover. Also decided to put in some lemon grass leaves into the duck steeper to get a little lemon flavor without having to fish that stuff out. But really, if only you could taste all the flavors in here.
And, just for laughs, I present you...the rasta peppah.
