OMG have to share: Clay pot cooking (pic heavy)

15 years ago

Thanks to theresa in NC for sharing her recipe for Baked Chicken and Artichokes.

I was inspired to pull out the Romertopf from the basement and make it.

I soaked the pot for about an hour and a half and cooked, started in a cold oven, at 450 on Surround heat in my Miele. I also used Brown Rice Flour in place of AP flour to make it Gluten free for DH

Served over Brown rice. My kids loved this, everyone begged for more, unfortunately there was nothing left LOL.

The pot fit perfectly in the sink:

The cast of characters:

Ready to bake:

Lovely CRISPY chicken ( can't believe how the brown rice flour crisped the skin

Plated

Glad you enjoyed 'My Finds', Ladies and Thank YOu for all the nice compliments. I really wish we ALL could have gone there together. That would have been such a blast. Imagine comparing and admiring each others purchases afterwards! Magpie... The lady that I bought the Yellow dishes from, DID have them in Green!! She was trying to convince me to buy them too. She had 7 - for $3... A great price. I already have green so I didn't need those... All the dishes were Never Used!! ncnana...That's exactly what I had in mind with those pink dishes and glasses - Valentine's Day!! :) Luvs...'Cute As A Bug's Ear' !! LOLOL...I've been called many things...but Never that...Love it, Thank YOu. karen...don't think of it as 'jealousy and sinning'... Gosh girl..We would ALL meet down below one day, for that.. Think of it as 'Greatly Admiring' all my Stuff! ...hehehe DD.. I'm in love with that Gravy Boat too. Been wanting one like that and this one is in Perfect Condition. It has such pretty, raised detailing on it. Those hurricane candleholders are a great size..and are smaller than ones I already have. I think they'll come in very handy too. Now ladies, if ONLY I had Magpie or DD's Dish Storage to put them away in. That's what I'll be doing today...rearranging my space and looking for More Space!! jane

Thanks Bobby for the inspiration!!! I just put 2 bushels of potatoes I dug into storage so have plenty of tasty potatoes to work with. I am seeing some "all but the kitchen sink" soup getting made today. (I call it all but the kitchen sink because I just add what ever I can find, usually ham, carrots, onions, celery, bacon, sour cream, ham, cream cheese, velvetta, cheddar cheese, milk and butter.) Feeling hungary, Stacie

Hi oldalgebra! I haven't put my kitchen on FKB - should I? I'm a newbie so wasn't sure if I was "worthy", LOL. Some details: - Cabinets: Merit cabinets in Whistler style, cherry wood with Truffle stain - Hardware: Ebay (gasp!) These are very heavy, great quality and a fraction of the cost of similar pulls I've seen in stores - Tile: Lunada Bay recycled glass tiles (Sumi-e style in Ohara Natural, 1x2 brick) Don't laugh, but I have more pictures/details on a Rate My Space page. I have a pretty low rating, but that's okay, I still like my kitchen :)

Thanks guys

ann_t [blush] your photos are oh soooo much better but thanks for the compliment. Photo tips are always appreciated

Annie and shaun - yup love the pepper mill. It's a peugot, bought on a whim, hand painted by a lovely lady in Canada. I consider it a piece of art. I know she also sells them on ebay :)

Mustangs - I sure did ;)

I bet you were pleased you put that pot to use again. It looks delicious!

I always swear that my Spanish clay cooking pots turn out the best food too!

I'm glad you like the recipe! It's one of my favorites. Do you realize you don't have to soak the pot and lid that long? The manufacturer recommends 15 minutes, but soaking longer won't hurt anything.

YUMMM!!!

I make one very similar (basically the same recipe) but in a casserole in the oven. I think Clay pot looks better...

The pics are great!! Does the chicken just fall off the bone?

Thanks, Bizzo, for that information. I don't have a clay pot, but I sure have a casserole.

It was good. I'm going to add it to our monthly rotation and keep an eye out for other recipes as easy and tasty to make in my clay pot. Nancy any suggestions?

I hate cleaning the thing though. Chase if you're lookig, see if you can find one that's glazed on the inside bottom. I don't think it effects the way it cooks but it sure makes it easier to clean.

Compumom, DH bought the brown rice flour. I wasn't with him but it either comes from Trader Joe's or Whole foods and is about 1/2 a pound. I'm going to try it on the Chicken picatta for dinner tonight

Shellm, what's BSCB?

If you use a glazed clay pot, you are canceling out the steam cooking coming from the clay pot. To clean mine, I run hot tap water in it and let it sit for a good long time; then I use a bristle scrub brush to clean it.

Has your pot been used much? They will build up a patina on the inside and the outside the more they are used. The patina aids in the cleaning of the pot.
