BRUNSWICK STEW



Brunswick Stew image

Brunswick stew dates back to the 1860s, when it was served as a complete meal. We now use it as an accompaniment to barbecues. It is delicious picnic fare when served with country ribs, coleslaw or potato salad. When I make this stew, I double the recipe and freeze small portions so we can enjoy it at several meals. -Alyce Ray, Forest Park, Georgia

TRADITIONAL BRUNSWICK STEW



Traditional Brunswick Stew image

Folks moving to this part of the country (Georgia) often fall in love with Brunswick Stew, usually a side dish at barbecue restaurants. This version is delicious but simple to make. People feud over whether the stew should have potatoes and lima beans in it, but this is a purist stew (except for the sneaky addition of potato flakes).

BRUNSWICK STEW FOR A CROWD



Brunswick Stew for a Crowd image

This recipe was developed when we bought a 14-quart potjie (cast iron pot with legs) for outdoor cooking. If you don't have a local barbecue joint to buy the barbecue, you can cook a small pork loin or country style pork ribs in your crockpot with a little water, barbecue it in your oven, then shred to use for this recipe. However, we have found it is easier and quicker to just buy it. We use Carolina Treet barbecue sauce to give it some kick. Serve with cornbread or saltines.

JACK'S BRUNSWICK STEW



Jack's Brunswick Stew image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 16 (1 cup) servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Boston butt pork roast
1 pound fresh chicken or hen, bone in
1 pound boneless beef chuck roast
1 pound red potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 small sweet onion, such as Vidalia, chopped
6 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
32 ounces (4 cups) cream-style white corn

Steps:

  • Place the pork and chicken in a 1 1/2 gallon stock pot with enough water to cover. Cook at a medium simmer for 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender, skimming occasionally. Remove the meat to a bowl and reserve the stock. Meanwhile, in a separate large stockpot, do the same to the beef. Remove the beef and discard the broth.
  • Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water and simmer until tender.
  • Remove and discard the bones and skin from all of the cooked meat, pull apart or cut into chunks and process in a food processor or meat grinder until ground. Put 2 pints of the reserved pork and chicken stock into a 1 1/2 gallon stock pot, reserve the rest for another use. Add the ground meats to the stock. Dissolve the black pepper and the cayenne pepper in 1 tablespoon water, and add to the stew.
  • Add to the onion and tomato to the food processor, process well and add it to the meat mixture with the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Process in the food processor the cooked potatoes, then add to the stew, stirring until any lumps are removed. Stir in the salt. At this point, the stew should be soupy not watery. If the stew is too thick to stir easily with a flat spatula or pancake turner, thin it slightly with more reserved pork and chicken stock. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Puree and add the corn, then continue to cook the stew over very low heat for 1 hour, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the stock pot with a flat spatula or pancake turner to avoid scorching.

BRUNSWICK STEW FROM CASWELL COUNTY, NC



Brunswick Stew from Caswell County, Nc image

Courtesy of the Bethel Church of Christ Several churches do an excellent job with brunswick stew. If you are a brunswick stew lover like I am, then you probably won't be disappointed with this church recipe. It has a very nice red color that comes from the tomato products. Bethel Church has used it every year for more than 25 years. A quart sells for about $4 in 1997 dollars. A quart is two adult servings. Bethel Church's brunswick stew is the best I've had, and I've tried a lot of them. It is very similar to the brunswick stew served at Bullock's Bar-B-Cue.

9 5/8 ounces tomato ketchup (prefer Heinz)
3 ounces Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 ounces cider vinegar
2 ounces texas pete, sauce
3 1/2 ounces white sugar
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Use tight-fitting cookware to hold in the flavor as the ingredients are boiled separately. Cook everything in separate pots and put them together at the end.
  • Start out by slowly boiling the meats until they are tender. Remove the bones and skins from the chickens. Re-use the broths to boil potatoes and butter beans. Then cook the onions and corn in reserved broth. Do not add any of the tomato products during the initial cooking process.
  • When all of the ingredients are cooked, add them together in one big pot. Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix them well. Bring the pot to a boil and continue stirring with a wooden spoon or a boat oar to keep it from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • An appetizing presentation is made to the general public with someone stirring a large cauldron mounted to a tripod over an open fire. Stir the stew for approximately one hour over the fire as it continues to get thicker with the water boiling off of it. This step is very important, the stew must be boiled down until it is quite thick.
  • Serve stew with a mayonnaise based slaw and saltine crackers. It is best during the colder months of the year. Brunswick stew freezes well.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN BRUNSWICK STEW (PAULA DEEN)



Chicken Brunswick Stew (Paula Deen) image

I'm a fan of Paula Deen of the Food Network--good food on the table quick. It looked on TV, but when I set out to make it myself, I wasn't sure of this list of ingredients, not being from the south myself. I had never heard of Brunswick Stew, but after trying it, I'll definitely be making it again.

In addition to the aforementioned menu items, this group serves Brunswick Stew with the meal. It is not unusual for this event to be attended by 7-10 thousand hungry patrons.

Time 3h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large onions, chopped
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 (15 ounce) cans creamed corn
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (12 ounce) jar chili sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, cut up
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)

Steps:

  • Place chopped onion in a 4-qt. slow cooker. Cut each chicken breast in half and place over onion.
  • Add corn and remaining ingredients. Cook on high for 4 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken, shred with a fork, and return the meat back to the stew. Enjoy!
  • A lot of times I will cook a whole chicken and assemble the stew as directed, using the already cooked meat. If you try this, reduce the heat to low and just let it simmer in the crock pot for a couple of hours.

Tips:

  • When choosing your meat, opt for high-quality cuts that are well-marbled for maximum flavor.
  • Sear the meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to your stew. Some popular choices include corn, lima beans, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and spices. Common ingredients used in Brunswick stew include black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the stew with cornbread, biscuits, or rice for a hearty and satisfying meal.
