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

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use the freshest ingredients possible, as they will impart the best flavor to your stew. Always choose organic whenever possible.
  • Brown Your Meat: Browning your meat before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor and create a richer, more flavorful stew. Don't overcrowd the pot when browning the meat, or it will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your stew. Some good choices include tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and corn. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as green beans, peas, or okra.
  • Use a Good Broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. Use a high-quality broth, such as homemade broth or a good-quality store-bought broth. Avoid using bouillon cubes, as they can make your stew taste too salty.
  • Season to Taste: Always season your stew to taste. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Let It Simmer: The longer you simmer your stew, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer your stew for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with Cornbread or Biscuits: Brunswick stew is traditionally served with cornbread or biscuits. This is a great way to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Brunswick stew is a hearty, flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious Brunswick stew that your family and friends will love.
