DH got me a Dutch oven for Mother’s Day which I’m so excited about but I have no recipes for! Does anyone have anything they make regularly? Bonus points if it involves short ribs!

Not short ribs but tasty tender beef - smells amazing and great leftover and frozen.
Also start making Dutch oven bread! Would be amazing together.

The no knead bread was the first thing that came to mind. And I use mine for this recipe too. You don't have to use a dutch oven but it holds in the heat so well and it's big enough b/c this makes a lot. But it's so good!!!

@bhbee: @Mommy Finger: these all look great, I’m going to have to try this bread. Thank you!

This is more of a winter recipe, but I make this in my dutch oven at least once a week when the weather is cool, usually on a Sunday since it takes a while, it's SO DELICIOUS:

I've also had this one saved for a while but keep forgetting about it - my cousin makes it regularly and shared the recipe, sounds SO GOOD:

@hellobeeboston: You reminded me of another pork ragu I've made that is amazing.
Also, this one with beef short ribs: http://alittlezaftig.com/?p=2642

Does anyone have a Dutch oven and braiser can weigh in on which would be "better" to have?
-
@PurplePumps: Dutch oven for sure. It’s more versatile (like with the bread recipe above) and the high sides make it great for soups and stews.

We’re making Italian beef in our Dutch oven tonight

@bhbee: Thanks! I think I'm convinced. Do you think a 3.5qt is too small though? (this is my workplace reward... my options are a 3.5qt dutch oven, or 3.5qt braiser)
-
@PurplePumps: probably depends on what you’re using it for. 3.5 seems pretty small. Mine is 7 and I think it’s a great size, 5.5 would have been ok too.
-
@PurplePumps: ooh that’s a tougher choice. I have what I think is the 2.75qt oval that I bought myself before later getting the 5.5qt round on my wedding registry. I very rarely use the oval as it’s just not big enough for a lot of things and I don’t really make any side dishes in it (probably should!). The 5.5 is an ideal size for my purposes, I can put a pot roast in there or make soup which would both be hard in the 2.75. But 3.5 is a little bigger obviously. You might sometimes have to adjust a recipe, but I could still see making it work.
For me the question would be, what would I use the braiser for and what other pans do I have that are similar size/purpose? And same for the Dutch oven.
-
@PurplePumps: I would say that a 3.5 qt dutch oven is way too small so I would go for the braiser if those are your only two choices. I have both and use them for different purposes. The braiser I use like I would a normal pan of that size but like that it has a the heavy lid (mine is glass so great to see through it). I like it for making one pot rice/noodle dishes. And since it's cast iron, it gets really hot and I can get a good sear on meat. I use it to make chicken breasts in a lemon cream sauce or really any good sauce.
I think this is the one I had. Found a super great sale. https://www.surlatable.com/staub-35qt-braiser-with-domed-glass-lid/PRO-3895943.html
