Brunswick Stew

Brunswick stew has locomote a flake of a catch-all southern stew recipe.

First, to live on real authentic, I would cause got to gear upwardly amongst squirrel or rabbit depending of course, if I was inwards Brunswick County, Virginia or Brunswick, Georgia.  Since nosotros currently alive inwards Virginia, we’ll assume the master pot of stew was made inwards 1828 yesteryear a campsite chef working for a Virginia legislator spell on a hunting expedition.  That legend gives this stew but about serious southern charm as well as roots.  I create realize Georgia is pretty far south, but Virginia “is the South,” but inquire anybody born here!

No affair where you’re from, Brunswick stew volition likely live on a tomato plant based stew containing lima beans, okra, corn as well as other vegetables, addition diverse types of smoked meats.  So at 1 time y'all ask, “what sort of meat did I use?”  Sorry, no rabbit inwards this pot today.  I used smoked chicken as well as pork as well as was extremely pleased amongst this thick, smokey, hearty, scrumptious stew.  The solely thing to larn inwards meliorate would live on a slab of warm crusty cornbread to sop upwardly the broth.

 

I made this stew concluding weekend spell camping ground inwards the Shenandoah Mountains.  We had the whole solar daytime to relax thence I chopped my onions as well as garlic as well as combined all the ingredients inwards the shape Fe Lodge Dutch Oven and allow it cook.  We added a few charcoals from fourth dimension to fourth dimension to locomote along the rut at a constant temperature.  Other than that, nosotros had an early on dinner inwards almost four hours.

When cooking inwards the Dutch Oven outdoors, add together hot charcoal to the exceed of the lid as well as supersede them from fourth dimension to fourth dimension equally needed.

Most of all, Brunswick Stew should be thick as well as chunky, as well as cooked deadening for a long menstruum of time.

Since my blood brother David gave us the Dutch Oven, I had a mutual frigidity beer inwards his honor.  And yep David, I remembered to freeze a bowl of stew for you.  Don’t allow me forget when y'all come upwardly to the marriage ceremony inwards a few weeks as well as we’ll warm it up!

Was it good?  It was outstanding.  One of the best The best Brunswick stew I’ve ever had!
