Recipes & Cooking USA Enamel™: Original Takes on Classic Dishes By: Lodge Cast Iron / June 8, 2023 When we set out to create the first line of colorful enameled cast iron made on US soil, we knew it would change how people cook. Made by an original, for the originals, this cookware is designed to break the mold—and we think it could just unlock originality in your kitchen, too.

Check out these fresh takes on classic favorites, designed for USA Enamel dutch oven cooking. Dirty Martini Puttanesca A classic puttanesca is beloved for its big flavors and simple preparation—and this remixed version is no different. Chocolate Bar Chili We start with all of the usual suspects in this chili recipe: beans, onion, diced tomatoes, and garlic. Then we warm it up with Guajillo peppers and round it out with the star of the dish, chocolate. Mushroom Farmer Stroganoff Take everything you know about beef stroganoff, and then make it about mushrooms. This classic is a freezer, lunchroom, and crock pot favorite, and we felt it was deserving of a little zhuzhing up. Croissant-Crusted Chicken Pot Pie We asked ourselves, can we take this long-loved classic and give it a chance at a star turn? Enter the croissant. A simple store-bought dough tops off this pot pie base and brings something flaky and fun to every bite. Ladies Night Apple Crisp Here, we combine beautiful pink lady apples with a potato chip and brown sugar streusel, then top it all off with chantilly cream and poached apples. It’s party time, folks. Old Fashioned Infused Pork Belly When we say “old fashioned” we don’t mean old-timey—we’re talking cocktails. This pork belly is infused with bourbon, orange, and even cocktail cherries for a mellow sauce you’ll want to put on just about everything. ‘Shine Sugar Churros From street trucks to dessert menus, churros are making a mad dash for our hearts. The perfect churro is a balancing act: pillowy and light inside, with a sugar-coated exterior that crisps up in a dutch oven of hot oil. Here, we add Tennessee moonshine to the mix for an extra kick. Veggie-Nested Roast Chicken Roasted chicken gets the full Tian treatment. Here, we create a “nest” of root vegetables and the result is a beautiful, layered bottom full of big flavor from the bird. Did we mention this is a one-pot meal? Pepper every dish with something fresh. Every USA Enamel™ recipe includes a technique or tip you can carry into all your cooking. Read our resources for flipping every meal on its head, from breakfast to late night snacks. You can croissant that. From cronuts to cruffins, a well-laminated dough can do a lot of hard work on a pastry shelf. But we asked ourselves: what if everything got the croissant treatment?

We sat down with Pledger Schaefer, co-founder of Midway Mushrooms, to learn more about the kinds of mushrooms he wishes more people knew about. Learn more PSA: You should be saving your pickle juice. With a tiny bit of planning, those empty pickle and olive jars are really just an excuse to make a wonderful, briny cocktail—or even a pot of puttanesca. But there’s more: your nearly empty jars of jams, mayo, mustard, or capers could be the base for so many other recipes.
