BRUNSWICK STEW (PORK STEW, SOUTHERN STYLE)

Steps:

• In a cold stew pot, place your tomato sauce, finely diced canned tomatoes, pork and minced onion and garlic.
• Mash your canned beans (throw out the hunk of pork fat that comes in the can).
• Add the mashed beans to your pot.
• Put the ground pork into the pot, and mash with a fork until everything in the pot is well-mixed and looks 'pureed'.
• Turn on your flame and use a wooden spoon to keep stirring this mixture until the color of the meat changes and it is cooked through.
• (I think I probably cook it this way on the stove top for about 15-20 minutes on medium high heat, stirring so nothing burns onto the bottom.) At this point I transfer the whole lot to my crock pot, but you can continue on with just the stew pot on the stove top.
• Add your spices, cumin, hot pepper flakes, salt, pepper, oregano, and beef bouillon.
• Taste it to see if you have everything in in the proportions you like.
• (I usually end up adding a lil' bit more of each spice to suit our tastes).
• Allow it to simmer a bit, so the spices meld together nicely.
• Give it another taste, add any spices you see fit to suit your tastes.
• I generally add the corn now (We prefer our corn cut off the cob in smaller pieces than whole kernels). Add the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
• Be sure to taste-test to see if you need to add more or not.
• Simmer until you are ready to serve.
• If your pork was cooked in the step 5 as instructed, you really just need to add the corn, vinegar and Worcestershire and heat it through.
• But I find it's easy to leave this in a crock-pot to keep it hot.
• When serving, pour some Frank's Red Hot sauce on your own bowl of the stew, (this way you can gauge the heat for each individual eating the stew.) (Optional: You can cook 1-2 chicken breasts in water until they will flake apart -- cut them finely, flake them so they aren't in chunks, and add to your stew).

JACK'S BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• Place the pork and chicken in a 1 1/2 gallon stock pot with enough water to cover. Cook at a medium simmer for 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender, skimming occasionally. Remove the meat to a bowl and reserve the stock. Meanwhile, in a separate large stockpot, do the same to the beef. Remove the beef and discard the broth.
• Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water and simmer until tender.
• Remove and discard the bones and skin from all of the cooked meat, pull apart or cut into chunks and process in a food processor or meat grinder until ground. Put 2 pints of the reserved pork and chicken stock into a 1 1/2 gallon stock pot, reserve the rest for another use. Add the ground meats to the stock. Dissolve the black pepper and the cayenne pepper in 1 tablespoon water, and add to the stew.
• Add to the onion and tomato to the food processor, process well and add it to the meat mixture with the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Process in the food processor the cooked potatoes, then add to the stew, stirring until any lumps are removed. Stir in the salt. At this point, the stew should be soupy not watery. If the stew is too thick to stir easily with a flat spatula or pancake turner, thin it slightly with more reserved pork and chicken stock. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Puree and add the corn, then continue to cook the stew over very low heat for 1 hour, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the stock pot with a flat spatula or pancake turner to avoid scorching.

BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, over very low heat, cook chicken and pork over very low heat in seasoned water (salt, Worcestershire sauce, wine vinegar, rice vinegar and 1 quart water), covered, overnight. Next day pick meat from bone and pulse in food processor to small pieces. Then add back to the stock. To food processor pulse into small pieces tomatoes, red pepper, onions, corn, lima beans, okra and black eyed peas, and add them along with garlic cloves and bouillon cubes to stock. Then add hot pepper sauce, mustard, ketchup, steak sauce, lemon juice. Cook slowly on top of the stove, covered, stirring every 30 minutes or so for 8 hours. Stir in the extra hot pepper sauce. Then refrigerate for 24 hours and re-heat before serving.

SUNDAY BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and celery in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir garlic into the mixture; cook and stir another 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to slow cooker.
• Stir butternut squash, pork, diced tomatoes, baked beans, chicken stock, corn, peas, cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and barbeque sauce into the onion mixture in the slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on High for 4 hours.

NORMANDY-STYLE PORK STEW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Melt butter in an ovenproof braiser pan, large straight-sided skillet, or wide, shallow pot over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, add pork and cook, turning a few times, until browned all over, 10 to 12 minutes (do not crowd pan; brown in two batches if necessary). Transfer to a plate.
• Add bacon and shallots to pan; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring a few times, until bacon renders its fat and shallots turn golden brown in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Return pork and any accumulated juices to pan. Sprinkle evenly with flour, stir, and cook 1 minute. Add bay leaf and cider; boil 1 minute. Add broth and return to a boil.
• Cover and transfer to oven; braise 45 minutes. Stir in carrots and celery, cover, and return to oven until pork is fork-tender and carrots are tender but still holding their shape, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. Stir in crème fraîche and Dijon. Top with herbs; serve with more crème fraîche and Dijon.
