Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
2.5 pounds chuck roast or other stew meat (cut into chunks)
2.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs (cut into chunks)
1 large onion (chopped)
1 large green pepper (chopped)
2-3 jalapeno peppers (chopped (optional, for some spice factor))
3 carrots (peeled and chopped)
2 celery ribs (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
8 cups chicken stock or use beef stock
28 ounces crushed tomatoes canned (or fresh)

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a very large pot (at least 8 quarts) to medium-high heat. Season the beef and chicken with salt and pepper. Sear them in batches in the pot a few minutes per side to brown them. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, peppers, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook another minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Add the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, hot sauce to taste and bay leaves. Return the browned meats to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours.
  • Break apart any larger chunks of meat with forks, if desired.
  • Add the potatoes, cabbage, corn, peas, green beans, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are softened and cooked through.
  • Taste and adjust for salt and pepper and hot sauce. Serve with extra hot sauce!

Categories     Soup

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2.5 lbs. bone-in, English-style short ribs, trimmed, meat and bones separated (I used bone-in beef chuck short ribs)
2.5 lbs. bone-in chicken thighs, trimmed
salt
pepper
1 T. vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, chopped fine
2 ribs celery, minced
8 c. low sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
4 c. shredded green cabbage
1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes
8 oz. rutabaga, peeled and cut into ½" pieces
1 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½" pieces
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced ¼" thick
1 c. frozen peas
1 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pat beef and chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown beef on all sides, about 10 minutes; transfer to plate. Cook chicken until browned all over, about 10 minutes; transfer to plate. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and discard it.
  • Pour off all but 1-1/2 teaspoons fat from pot. Add onions and celery and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth and bay leaves, scraping up any browned bits. Add beef, beef bones, and chicken, and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until chicken registers 175° F, about 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to bowl. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces, discarding bones. Cover chicken and refrigerate.
  • Continue to simmer stew until beef is tender, about 1-1/4 hours longer. Transfer beef to plate. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces, discarding fat. Remove beef bones and bay leaves; discard.
  • Strain broth through fine-mesh strainer; discard solids. Allow liquid to settle, about 5 minutes, then skim off fat and return liquid to pot.
  • Add shredded beef, cabbage, tomatoes, rutabaga, 1-1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to liquid and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rutabaga is translucent around edges, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in potatoes and carrots and cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add chicken and peas, and simmer until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

BOOYA-POSOLE COMMUNITY STEW



Booya-Posole Community Stew image

Provided by Amy Thielen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
3 bay leaves
1 15.5-ounce can white hominy, drained and rinsed
2 ears fresh sweet corn, kernels cut off
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping
4 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 large sweet onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup crushed fresh or canned plum tomatoes
2 skinless chicken legs (1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound pork butt, sliced 1 inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. When it melts, add the onion, carrot, celery, bell pepper, jalapeno and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and sweet, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes and cook until thick and jammy, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Blot dry the chicken legs and pork and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the chicken and pork until wellmarked on both sides and partially cooked through, about 10 minutes. Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes.
  • Add the thyme, paprika, cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the stockpot. Add both meats, the stock, 4 cups water and the bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook, partially covered, stirring once in a while, until the pork is very tender when poked with a fork, about 1 hour, 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken legs, pick the meat from the bones, chop it into large pieces and return it to the stew.
  • Add the hominy and simmer the stew another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until everything is really tender and the meat is falling apart. Mash the pork against the side of the pot to break it up. (Don't worry if the chicken looks like it's almost dissolving: That's typical of booya.) Add the corn and cook 5 more minutes.
  • Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Taste to check the seasoning and add more salt, if needed. Serve with the chopped cilantro.
