Le Creuset arrived yesterday! What are your favorite recipes to cook in your dutch oven? I am very eager to start cooking...

mine pretty much never gets put away. braise, braise, braise!
short ribs and brisket...plus, any soup, stew or even a big batch of red sauce. - with enough left over to freeze for next month. enjoy!
most importantly - what color did you choose?

These short ribs are my go to: http://smittenkitchen.com...
and a LC is SUPER useful for cooking up dried beans (no soaking required!) by this method - I do it all the time... http://www.thekitchn.com...
Enjoy! Mine is a joy to use every time :).

Oh, I like to cook tripe, oxtail, tongue, that kind of stuff. But then I'm a nose to tail wierdo.

Susanm's answer is actually interesting because when it comes to Le Creuset there are always big sales on last season's colors. My own collection is totally mismatched. But girly girls (like my sister) want stuff to match their paint or laminate floors or something.

Soups, Beef Stew, Chili, brittle, Lamb Stew, too many recipes to mention. Jams until I buy a real jam pot. Basically my LC never gets put away.

I like Dan Barber's braised short ribs (http://food52.com/recipes...) but practically any short ribs recipe will come out well. Slow cooked meats are all worth doing in the dutch oven.

I also like making bread in mine, I haven't tried this one yet but I want to.(http://food52.com/recipes...).

I recently made an absolutely delicious beef stew but haven't had a chance to post the recipe here yet. (http://meatballsandmilkshakes...)

Ragus are another great thing to make, I've done a duck ragu in mine that was great and lasted for a couple meals with different pastas...it's always better the next day. (http://meatballsandmilkshakes...)

I think I'd inaugurate with something classic, and of course, French. How about Boeuf Bourguignon?

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! I was thinking about the Boeuf B. from Amanda's cookbook...trying to decide between the two or the dijon beef stew. The gumbo looks great too and my husband always loves chili. The bread baking recipe is awesome...I make bread on a weekly basis but I wouldn't have thought of it. BTW, I got the black onyx. So sleek!

Way cool in the black finish. Did you get it at a good price?
