Description
A hearty and flavorful Brunswick Stew made with pulled smoked pork, roasted chicken, lima beans, corn, and fire-roasted tomatoes simmered in a tangy, sweet broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups frozen corn
- 1 ½ cups frozen lima beans
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
- 2 ¼ cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ¾ cup barbecue sauce, plus more for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons hot sauce
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1–2 pinches cayenne pepper
- 2 ½ cups pulled smoked pork
- 1 ½ cups cooked diced chicken breast or chicken thighs (smoked or roasted)
Instructions
- Heat the canola oil over medium heat in a dutch oven or heavy stock pot. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Reduce heat and add the minced garlic; cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- In a small bowl, stir the tomato paste with ¼ cup of the chicken broth until combined, then pour it into the pot. Add the remaining chicken broth, fire roasted diced tomatoes, frozen corn, frozen lima beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, ground black pepper, crushed red pepper, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a low boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and let the stew simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and vegetables to cook through.
- Stir in the pulled smoked pork and cooked diced chicken. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the meats thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and extra pepper if desired.
- Ladle the stew into bowls and drizzle with additional barbecue sauce if preferred. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- This stew comes together quickly using already cooked meats.
- Adjust the spices according to your taste.
