A month or so ago I purchased my first cast iron skillet. Growing up we had one at home and I can remember my mom using it often. Now that I am going all in with the culinary life I knew it was time to purchase one of my own and begin using it.
My purchase was a 12″ Lodge preseasoned skillet and the menu was a pan seared pork chop, oven roasted brussel sprouts with bacon, sweet potato baby carrot mash, apple chutney and cast iron smoked cheddar and collard green cornbread.
For dessert I made an apple bourbon bread pudding. The apples were initially fried in the cast iron skillet before adding the bread cubes for the dessert.
The dinner turned out amazing and there is nothing like cooking in a cast iron skillet. Below are the pics of the meal that was prepared.
