Northwest Fishing Reports

Here's a great dinner from the Dutch. Preparation isn't too bad, and the meal is yummy.

Dutch Oven Cornish Game Hens
From the campsite of Lotech Joe

Ingredients:
2 large yellow onions
4 medium potatoes
1 package baby carrots
1 small head of cabbage
2 Cornish Game Hens
1 can of ginger ale

Directions
1. Slice a coin out of the center of each onion and place them in the bottom
of a 12 inch dutch.
2. Place the hens, backside down, on the onion coins. This will help keep
them from sticking to the bottom of the dutch.
3. Peel and cut the potatoes into 4ths and add to the dutch.
4. Add the baby carrots to the dutch.
5. Chunk cut the remainder of the onions and add them to the dutch.
6. Cut the cabbage in 8ths and add to the dutch
7. Pour in 1-2 cans of ginger ale. This will create the steam needed for cooking.
8. Salt & Pepper to tastes.

Cooking Time
Place the dutch, (lid on) over 12-14 hot BBQ briquettes.
Place enough briquettes around the outside edge of the lid to go all the way around with 3-4 more closer to the center of the lid.
Sit around the campfire, sharing fishing lies, and forget about dinner for 1 hour.
Feeds 2 hungry liars, (er fishermen) with enough left over for 1 or 2 campsite drop-ins.

Joe, I love dutch oven cooking! This makes want to pull Dutch out of the garage and cook in the back yard.
What did you mean when you said, "Slice a coin out of the onion?"

Hey Quad,
Cut a 1/4" cross-section slice out of the middle of each onion and put it in the bottom of the dutch. Place the hens, back down, on each slice. That will help keep the Game Hens from sticking to the bottom of the dutch. I often cook in the back yard. You don't have to be in camp. :bigsmurf:

My Dutch Oven Lasagna is pretty good too. Then I have a Pizza Flavored Dutch Oven Lasagna.
Coming soon to your salivary glands.

STOP, my stomach is growling now. I swear, nothing taste better then Dutch Oven!

I have a ........... never mind.

I've only cooked with a dutch oven a handful of times, but have eaten plenty of DO cooking.....this recipe looks like a winner.....lunch time must be around the corner.
