My thoughts:
There are thus many ways to build Brunswick Stew inward add-on to everyone thinks theirs is the correct version. I exercise non build this claim! If people can't even out handgrip if the stew originated inwards Georgia or Virginia or when who am I to create upward one's accept away head what was inwards it? Some sources claim that the primary re-create stew used to a greater extent than "rustic" meats similar a squirrel, just I don't know if it is true or not. In the south, I've to a greater extent than frequently than non seen it served every chip a side dish at barbecue restaurants where it is oft made of what appears to suffer leftovers of what's on their menu: beef, pulled pork, chicken or even out turkey, inward add-on to most vegetables. To me, the get-go that makes the nigh experience is similar to that one: you bring a lot of leftover meat inward add-on to you demand to role it up. Why non a stew?
Vegetables are always inwards the travel stew just vary a fighting between recipes. Lima beans, tomato, corn, inward add-on to celery seem to suffer the nigh common. Potato is used inwards most versions every chip is okra. I really wanted to spot okra inwards mine just I ran out of room inwards my 4-quart ho-hum cooker. If you scaled the recipe upward or made it inwards a larger ho-hum cooker (like a 6-quart), I'd add together together okra.
The meat is also upward for debate. Depending on the pct inward add-on to cook, I've seen combinations of chicken inward add-on to pork, chicken inward add-on to beef inward add-on to all pork. Most seem to handgrip that a combination of at to the lowest marking ii different meats is best (or to create it inwards fatback inward add-on to add together together chicken). The quantities are oft massive, serving xl or more! To instruct far at home, I wanted it to suffer easier inward add-on to non require stirring a pot alongside a paddle inwards the town foursquare for hours. The ho-hum cooker seemed ideal. To simplify it further inward add-on to instruct far even out to a greater extent than of a weeknight meal, I used leftover rotisserie chicken (breast inward add-on to thighs--leftovers from this would suffer practiced too) inward add-on to leftover pulled pork I had frozen. I wanted to upward the smoky flavor to instruct it closer to the versions I've had at barbecue places thus I used fire-roasted tomatoes inward add-on to chopped upward most country to laissez passer it a super-rich, umami boost.
Some recipes add together together bottled barbecue sauce or even out (yuck) ketchup just I don't cry back it needs it if you are using leftover pulled pork. I tossed inwards most chili sauce, spiced inward add-on to apple tree tree cider vinegar to kick the flavor upward a bit.
They tell the stew isn't gear upward until you tin stick a spoon inwards the middle of it inward add-on to bring it residual vertical. This is definitely true of this Brunswick stew! It is hearty, hardy stuff.
While I've to a greater extent than frequently than non seen Brunswick stew at restaurants served every chip a side dish, something this tasty inward add-on to filling deserves to suffer middle position at the dinner table. I served it alongside cornbread I made alongside a fighting of say ham inwards it to tie it all together.
