Brunswick Stew Pork Stew Southern Style Recipes

SOUTHERN BBQ PORK BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• Cut the bacon into a pot and sauté until softened. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add stewed tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken broth and potatoes, bring back up to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• To that add the corn, lima beans, barbecued pork, barbecue sauce and hot sauce. Simmer until everything is heated through. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Serve with cornbread, a side of coleslaw and some southern iced tea and you have one mighty fine southern meal.

BRUNSWICK STEW (PORK STEW, SOUTHERN STYLE)

Steps:

• In a cold stew pot, place your tomato sauce, finely diced canned tomatoes, pork and minced onion and garlic.
• Mash your canned beans (throw out the hunk of pork fat that comes in the can).
• Add the mashed beans to your pot.
• Put the ground pork into the pot, and mash with a fork until everything in the pot is well-mixed and looks 'pureed'.
• Turn on your flame and use a wooden spoon to keep stirring this mixture until the color of the meat changes and it is cooked through.
• (I think I probably cook it this way on the stove top for about 15-20 minutes on medium high heat, stirring so nothing burns onto the bottom.) At this point I transfer the whole lot to my crock pot, but you can continue on with just the stew pot on the stove top.
• Add your spices, cumin, hot pepper flakes, salt, pepper, oregano, and beef bouillon.
• Taste it to see if you have everything in in the proportions you like.
• (I usually end up adding a lil' bit more of each spice to suit our tastes).
• Allow it to simmer a bit, so the spices meld together nicely.
• Give it another taste, add any spices you see fit to suit your tastes.
• I generally add the corn now (We prefer our corn cut off the cob in smaller pieces than whole kernels). Add the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
• Be sure to taste-test to see if you need to add more or not.
• Simmer until you are ready to serve.
• If your pork was cooked in the step 5 as instructed, you really just need to add the corn, vinegar and Worcestershire and heat it through.
• But I find it's easy to leave this in a crock-pot to keep it hot.
• When serving, pour some Frank's Red Hot sauce on your own bowl of the stew, (this way you can gauge the heat for each individual eating the stew.) (Optional: You can cook 1-2 chicken breasts in water until they will flake apart -- cut them finely, flake them so they aren't in chunks, and add to your stew).

BRUNSWICK STEW ( CHICKEN & PORK )

Steps:

• I boil 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (with bone) and purchase 1 1/4 pounds of smoked pulled pork from our local barbeque joint.
• If you are unable to get smoked pulled pork and still want the smoked flavor use liquid smoke.
• In a 6 quart dutch oven, stir together onion, chicken broth, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
• Add thawed corn and butter beans; stir.
• Add tomatoes; stir.
• Lastly, stir in pulled chicken and pork.
• Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
