T<\/span>he first hints of fall mean it is time to bring out the stew pot or crock pot for hearty, comforting stews, and in particular Brunswick stew. Though Georgia may claim otherwise, Brunswick stew is very much a Virginian tradition. So much so, that in 1988 the General Assembly declared Brunswick County the home of the dish and named the fourth Wednesday in January as Brunswick Stew Day, usually held at the state capitol.<\/span><\/p>\n

History<\/h3>\n

An 1855 Alexandria Gazette article recounted its creation which previously appeared in the Petersburg Intelligencer, stating \u201cit was the custom of the different neighborhoods of Brunswick to repair almost every Saturday.\u201d They go on to mention \u201ca sufficient number of squirrels\u201d being shot, \u201cotherwise chickens were to do duty\u201d or some combination thereof. \u201cIn due time, were added tomatoes, corn, butter beans, potatoes, with the requisite condiments of salt, and cayenne pepper, all of which when properly cooked furnished to the participators a feast which Apicius might have envied.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Brunswick stews may no longer use squirrel, but some traditions still carry on, namely the community aspect of creating the stew. Richmond and Callao resident Tom Giannasi has become the unofficial stew master of sorts, for the Callao Hometown Community Association. Last year, Giannasi donated the ingredients and his time, along with other members of the community, to create 275 quarts of the stew. It quickly sold out and raised money for the future Callao Community Park. <\/span><\/p>\n

Giannasi said his mother, Marion Hester Giannasi, was a North Carolinian who loved the stew and would often make a pot \u201cusing fresh vegetables out of my father\u2019s garden.\u201d He uses his mother\u2019s recipe which has been adapted from Lee Lester\u2019s recipe. According to Gianassi, Lester was a stew master from Midlothian and used this version for various community organizations in the 1930s. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cooking tips:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Fresh ingredients are preferred over canned or frozen. Giannasi prefers sweet onions instead of yellow, and \u201csince I was in the spice business I use white pepper instead of black pepper. That was in my mother’s and grandmother’s stew recipe.\u201d His mother has also said cooking outdoors over an open fire can provide an added smoky flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Chicken, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, butter\/baby lima beans, white shoepeg corn, seasoning salt, pepper, butter, chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/span>Makes 8-10 quarts <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

After hours of preparation and three hours of cooking, these quarts will be gone quickly. Photo courtesy of Tom Giannasi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Day One:<\/strong> preparing the chicken and broth:<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 whole chicken (4-5 pounds), plus 2 or 3 boneless breasts<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Stew chicken in a pot with water, celery (including tops), carrots, onions, salt, 2 bay leaves and 1\/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Cook until done, de-bone and shred. Strain chicken broth and refrigerate overnight.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Day Two<\/strong>: preparing the stew<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Potatoes: peel and dice enough for 5 pounds of finished product (Can also be done the day before if stored covered in water.)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Onions: peel and dice enough for 2 pounds of finished product<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Tomatoes: 2 1\/2 quarts of fresh tomatoes, scalded and peeled, then diced. Canned petite diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes can be substituted using a 2 to 1 ratio diced to crushed.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Butter\/baby lima beans: 2 quarts or 2 1-pound bags, fresh or frozen<\/span><\/li>\n
    • White corn: 8 to 10 ears fresh, 2 1-pound bags frozen<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Seasoning salt (optional): 2 tablespoons<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Pepper: 2 teaspoons<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Sugar (optional): 2 tablespoons<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Butter: 3 sticks<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Worcestershire sauce:1 tablespoon<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Use a large pot, 12 quart minimum, add enough chicken broth, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and butter to cover the potatoes and onions. Cook on rolling boil until potatoes are done. <\/span><\/p>\n

      In a separate pot, cook the beans with salt and butter until done.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Add tomatoes to the large pot and reduce heat to low simmer. Add cooked beans and continue to simmer. Add chicken and corn. If using fresh, cut off the cob, toss with 1 tablespoon of flour before adding to the stew. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Stir frequently, especially after adding the beans, chicken and corn to prevent sticking or burning. Continue to simmer until thick. According to Stew Masters everywhere, \u201cIt\u2019s not done until the paddle stands up in the middle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
