Cooking Recipe Chowing'S Tavern Brunswick Stew | (Hbwk07A)
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Cut chicken into pieces and simmer in 3 quarts of water for a thin
stew, or in 2 quarts for a thick stew, until meat can be easily
removed from bones, about 2 hours; remove chicken from broth; add raw
vegetables and simmer, uncovered, till beans and potatoes are tender,
stirring occasionally to prevent scorching; add chicken, boned and
diced, and the seasonings; mix well and remove from heat; let cool to
room temperature, uncovered, then cover, refrigerate overnight;
reheat over moderately-low heat to a slow simmer; DO NOT BOIL! Serve
with warm biscuits or bread. Notes: If canned vegetables are used,
drain and include juices in chicken cooking liquid.
Brunswick stew benefits from long slow cooking. In some homes,
it is a rule that the stew cannot be eaten the day it is made. The
flavor will always
improve with age.
