SUNDAY BRUNSWICK STEW



Sunday Brunswick Stew image

This is a sweet and spicy stew that you start in the morning and let the slow cooker do the rest. It is a great way to bring in the fall season because it is packed full of vegetables, pork, and butternut squash. It is perfect paired with cornbread muffins and a great way to use leftover pork roast or pulled pork barbeque! White potatoes can be substituted for the butternut squash.

BUSY DAY BRUNSWICK STEW (CROCK POT)



Busy Day Brunswick Stew (Crock Pot) image

Brunswick stew is extremely popular in the South and supposedly dates back to the 1800's. It's basically a vegetable soup with meat and everyone has their own twist on the recipe. We absolutely loved Susan's savory and hearty recipe. Every bite is full of shredded chicken, bits of salted pork, corn, and potatoes. When you add the little tang of the tomatoes and spice from the pepper, you have a well-rounded stew that is sure to bring warmth and comfort to the dinner table.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pound(s) rabbit or chicken pieces, cut up, skin removed
3 tablespoon(s) shortening or lard (I use olive oil)
1 large onion, sliced
4 ounce(s) salt pork, fat back or thick bacon
3 cup(s) chicken stock
2 can(s) diced or stewed tomatoes with juice
1 can(s) green lima beans
1 can(s) white shoepeg corn
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
8 ounce(s) tomato sauce or puree (optional)
- lots of black pepper
1 teaspoon(s) (or more) crushed dried red pepper
1/4 cup(s) cider vinegar
- salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet, heat shortening or oil and brown the rabbit or chicken pieces very well, until they are turning golden brown on the outside.
  • Remove the meat to a slow cooker set on high.
  • In the same skillet, cook onion in the salt pork (chopped fine) until salt pork is turning crispy and onion is golden brown.
  • Put this into the slow cooker.
  • Add the chicken stock, tomatoes with juice, lima beans, corn, potatoes, and tomato sauce (if desired) to the slow cooker. Add water if necessary to fill slow cooker at least 3/4 full. Cook on high power, covered, for about 1-2 hours, then turn to low and cook 6 or more hours stirring ocassionally. NOTE: Tomato sauce is not traditional in this recipe, but can be added if you like a stronger tomato flavor.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the Crock Pot. Take the pieces off the bone, shred with a fork and return to the Crock Pot.
  • One hour before serving, stir in black and red peppers to taste, cider vinegar, and salt to taste. Heat through to blend flavors. May heat about an hour or longer if desired. This is good now, but really better heated up the next day.
  • NOTE: I sometimes make this using pre-cooked leftover chicken meat from a rotisserie chicken or another source. Use at least 3-4 cups of meat, and omit the shortening/browning stage. Just put the meat in the slow cooker. Proceed with browning the salt pork. Some cooks will put about 1/2 pound of cooked crumbled sausage in, too. It really depends on what you have on hand. Sometimes they add okra, but my father always said okra makes it Gumbo, not Brunswick Stew.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by chopping veggies and browning meat the night before. Store them in the fridge overnight or freeze for later use.
  • Use Frozen Veggies: Frozen veggies are just as nutritious as fresh and save time on prep. Plus, they're often more affordable.
  • Crock-Pot Convenience: Crock-pots are a lifesaver for busy cooks. Just throw everything in the pot in the morning, set it on low, and dinner will be ready when you get home.
  • Meal Prep Containers: Portion out leftovers into individual containers for easy weekday lunches or quick dinners.
  • Experiment with Herbs and Spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create unique and flavorful dishes.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and these time-saving tips, you can create delicious and nutritious meals even on your busiest days. Remember, cooking at home doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. With a little creativity and the help of your crock-pot, you can put a delicious and satisfying meal on the table without breaking a sweat.
