Brunswick Stew

['74 UA FJ]

Who's got a good recipe? I used to eat Castleberry's a lot in college.

Never heard of it.
According to google it originated in virginia and is supposed to have squirrel meat in it.
Must be Crazy's ol' family recipe.

You've never heard of brunswick stew? Holy s***, dude. It's pretty delicious. It goes well with barbecue. You've probably never heard of that either.

I've eaten it at Mike and Ed's a few times. Castleberry's is just some cheap canned stuff you can get at the store.

Brunswick stew is just a tomato based stew with a lot of vegetables in it (corn, okra, potatoes), the base of which is left over barbecue from a few days before, usually.

Pulled pork, corn, okra, potatoes, peas, beans, onions, tomatoes.

Some combination of that, and some other stuff.

Castleberry's sucks, but it's been a while since I had any.

Chicken Brunswick Stew

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon liquid smoke, available in grocery store
1/2 cup Paula Deen BBQ Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 16-ounce can creamed corn
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, sweetened with 1/3 cup sugar
1 2 1/2-pound fryer chicken
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
celery salt
Directions

In a large pot, place the chicken and enough water to cover chicken and bring to a boil. Cook chicken until meat falls off the bone, approximately 45 minutes. Drain the stock and reserve 2 cups of stock. Remove the skin and bones and chop meat.

In a separate pot, mix the chicken and remaining ingredients. Simmer slowly for 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking. Add a little bit of the stock if the stew become too thick. Serve stew over steamed rice.

So basically go to Tofu's compost pile, grab a couple of handfuls and boil the s*** out of it?
