North Georgia Brunswick Stew

"Brunswick stew is my favorite southern food and a traditional side at pig-pickins (BBQs). When i was growing up in Rome, GA I would eat this at picknics and festivals. This recipe was a photocopy of a photocopy from some southern cooking magazine that came from our very southern cleaning lady. I always cook a big pot and freeze most of it for quick dinners. It takes all day to cook, but can be made in sections ahead of time."

  • Remove chicken and set aside. Reserve 3 cups broth in Dutch oven. (Reserve remaining broth for other uses.).
  • Pour lima beans and liquid through a wire-mesh strainer into Dutch oven. Reserve beans; add tomato to Dutch oven.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook stirring often, 40 minutes or until liquid is reduced by one-third.
  • Skin, bone, and shred chicken. Mash reserved beans with a potato masher.

  • Stir in corn and remaining ingredients; cook over low heat, stirring often, 1 hour.
  • (Optional) 30 minutes before it is done I whisk the stew with an electric mixer for a more traditional smooth texture. I like to leave some chunks.

  1. This was a very, very good stew. I did think it needed a few more things so I added crumbled bacon, a bit of ketchup & a couple dashes of celery salt.
