SLOW COOKER BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• To prepare in a slow cooker: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Fill the tomato sauce can with water and add to the cooker, as well. Add the chicken, pork, corn, butterbeans and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the cooker on high and cook for 4 hours, or cook on low for 8 hours. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.

INSTANT POT® BRUNSWICK STEW

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, potatoes, chicken broth, onion, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and red pepper flakes in the pot of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Lay chicken breasts on top; add seasoned salt, thyme, and black pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.
• Remove chicken from pot and set on a plate to cool. Place corn, lima beans, and okra into the pot and stir to combine.
• Remove skin from chicken, shred the meat off the bones, and return to the pot. Add pork. Seal cooker; select low pressure and cook until vegetables are heated through, about 15 minutes. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.

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).
