Brunswick Stew

Instructions

1. Cook the Meats

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken, pork, and broth.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cook until meats are tender (about 45–60 minutes).
  3. Remove chicken, shred it, and return to the pot.

2. Add Vegetables

  1. Stir in onion, garlic, potatoes, corn, lima beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Simmer over medium-low heat 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and stew is thickened.

3. Adjust & Serve

  • Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Add hot sauce or cayenne if desired.
  • Serve hot with cornbread or crusty bread.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, brown the pork before simmering.
  • Some traditional recipes include rabbit or venison if you want an authentic Southern twist.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day after flavors meld.
