Re: Menu Thread- 9-19
YES! The nutmeg really added that right bite to it. I was a little hesitant.. but man was it the right call! I used Evap milk instead of regular milk because i don't usually have whole milk. I could not find fresh oregano though.. I used just a pinch of dried instead. I also added a little nob of butter to gloss the finish. I also hit it with some red pepper flakes because I like the bite. I also tossed in about a 1/3rd cup of chianti.. just because it seemed to want it.
So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! It was awesomeness in a pot. And my kids loved it too.

Sorry, I just saw this I used about 2 lbs of meat and about 32 oz of liquid (plus carrots, potatoes, mushrooms) - i just kind of eyeball it. Also I like me stew to be on the thick side and not too soupy.

Mon - Cast iron chicken
Mmm.. tell me all about this please!!
It's also called Brick Chicken, but since I use my cast iron dutch oven as weight (as opposed to a brick)...
Take 3 1/2 chickens ( 1 1/2 chickens - it's all that will fit in my pan) Make sure to remove the back bone. Salt and pepper. Make sure skin is dry.
Heat a cast iron pan, add about a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter. Put the chicken 1/2s skin side down on the pan. Weight them down. You can use bricks wrapped in foil. I take my creuset dutch oven, put foil on the bottom and fill with water. I also stick some herbs in and around the chicken. Tonight I used thyme. Let it cook for about 20-25 mins. Turn the pan if you want to make sure you avoid hot spots. But DON'T TOUCH THE CHICKEN.
Get tongs and carefully turn the chicken over. You don't want to rip that precious skin. Let it cook, skin side up, no bricks for like another 10 mins. Once the chicken is out, get some of the grease out, add some water to deglaze and then some lemon juice for a nice pan gravy. I pour the gravy UNDER the chicken on a serving platter.
