I have attached a link at the bottom of this post to a recipe for Brunswick Stew from Dreamland BBQ. I know most of you have probably either never heard of Brunswick Stew or have never tasted it. It is barbecue's version of vegetable soup and is popular in Virginia and Georgia. It differs from traditional vegetable soup in that it contains some sort of smoked meat and the vegetables are usually Southern in theme including a combination of corn, onions, tomatoes, lima beans, and okra. The most difficult part of this recipe is the pulled pork or barbecue chicken. It would, of course, require many hours of smoking. If you would rather avoid the arduous smoking process, cook some chicken on the grill and then cut it up and place it in the stew. That way, the stew would more quickly attain a somewhat smokey flavor.
I enjoy the Brunswick Stew at Dreamland, but my favorite is at Wallace BBQ in Austell, GA. I have heard that the folks there order from a stew house in a neighboring county. Regardless of where it is cooked, it tastes wonderful! Also, I have always found it interesting that Dreamland, an Alabama-based restaurant, serves Brunswick Stew. My guess is that the corporate guys are attempting to appease the appetites of the patrons at their Georgia locations. Anyways, give Brunswick Stew a try and let me know what you think of it.
