1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
Two 28-ounce cans low-sodium diced tomatoes
One 15-ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce
One 2-pound roast or BBQ chicken, meat coarsely shredded (skin and bones discarded)

VIRGINIA'S BEST BRUNSWICK STEW



Virginia's Best Brunswick Stew image

Georgians and Virginians both claim that this stew originated in their respective town of Brunswick and Brunswick County. I may be a born and raised Virginia girl, but I'm offering this classic recipe for all of you to try. I've adapted it from vol. 2 of my Gourmet Slow-Cooker - you can throw it all in a crock pot, or follow my second step of browning for added flavor. Serve with a lighter red wine, like Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, or even a Cabernet Franc, and enjoy!

NORTH GEORGIA BRUNSWICK STEW



North Georgia Brunswick Stew image

Brunswick stew is my favorite southern food and a traditional side at pig-pickins (BBQs). When i was growing up in Rome, GA I would eat this at picknics and festivals. This recipe was a photocopy of a photocopy from some southern cooking magazine that came from our very southern cleaning lady. I always cook a big pot and freeze most of it for quick dinners. It takes all day to cook, but can be made in sections ahead of time.
