Kosher Brunswick Stew (Meat)
This is a famous old Southern recipe. Originally, it called for
squirrels and pork. Chicken was also included. This was all cooked
outdoors in a huge iron pot. Apparently tough old chickens were used, as
the original recipe called for cooking the chicken for several hours.
This tamed-down version is made with a tender chicken. I use frozen
chicken, and although I thaw it overnight in the refrigerator, it is
still quite frosty when I begin the recipe. If your chicken is fresh,
use the shorter time of 35 minutes. This is a one-dish meal. Serve
with fresh bread or rolls.
- 1 chicken, cut up
- 1 can (16 ounces) tomatoes, undrained
- 1 package (10 ounces) or 1 1/2 cups frozen lima beans
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can (11 ounces) corn, drained
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 rib celery, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
Place chicken in a large pot, and add water to barely cover. Heat to
boiling, lower heat and simmer for 35 to 45 minutes. Slice the canned
tomatoes, and add, along with all other ingredients and simmer 30
minutes more, or until tender. Serve chicken in bowls, along with the
vegetables, and adding some of the broth. Serves six.
