Virginia Brunswick Stew ( muggle not style)

 

2 boneless chicken breasts

3 to 5 carrots - sliced

(1) 14 oz. can crushed tomatoes

(1) 11 oz. can shoepeg or sweet corn - add for the last 15 minutes of cooking

1/4 cup sugar

2 TBL butter

1 TBL paprika

1 TBL lemon juice

1 TSB salt

1 TSB black pepper

3/4 TSB red pepper

2 quarts water

Saute chicken - coarsely chop and set aside

Add potatoes, onion, and 2 quart water to a large heavy duty pot and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes

Add chicken & all remaining ingredients (except corn) , cover and simmer 21/2 hours stirring occasionally

Add corn the last 15 minutes

Serves 4 people ....really good as leftover

We like to eat it with a good crusty bread, and for me, a bottle of beer

I think I tried this recipe of yours one other time but I used beef or venison. It was lovely. I adapted it a bit (cut down on the chilli pepper and didn't have any lima beans or corn.)

 

What is shoepeg????

LOL, you gotta follow the recipe.

 

Shoepeg corn is a variety of white sweetcorn valued for its sweetness. It is characterized by small, narrow kernels that form uneven, tightly packed rows on the cob. The kernels are small, narrow, and white in color with a sweet, mild flavor. Shoepeg corn is also known as country gentleman corn.

Lol. I never follow recipes I don't think we have that sweetcorn here, we have one called Honey and Pearl which is lovely and sweet to eat straight off the cob.

This sounds delicious! I`m going to try it out soon, but is all the sugar necessary or can I cut back on it? Don`t want to ruin a good recipe so thought I`d ask!

Yes, you can cut back somewhat but I wouldn't eliminate it. It really is a very good tasting meal.

Thanks Muggle not, I`ll just cut the sugar back a little bit, & I`ll let you know how it goes!

Did I mention to use a "BIG" pot. I made the brunswick Stew yesterday and the pot was almost overflowing. btw, the stew was great. Tonight we will have leftover stew.
