Sunday Supper: Chicken and Brisket Brunswick Stew

Sunday supper is often something sacred in a household. We caught up with Cynthia Graubart, author of Sunday Suppers: Simple, Delicious Menus for Family Gatherings to get her take on the cozy meal and to share her tried and true stew recipe.

Sunday Suppers

From grilling to prepping ahead, lighter suppers and meals for when you have company coming, Cynthia has created a book with foolproof, delicious menus. The best part? While they are all inspired by a Sunday meal and togetherness, these dishes can be served up any night of the week. This is a great gift for someone who like to entertain or just gather everyone in the family together.

We caught up with Cynthia to get her take on Sunday Suppers so you can get a better feel for the book. Take notes!

What’s your go-to Sunday supper when you have unexpected company?

Cynthia: I still reach for a roast chicken for unexpected company. In fact, I roast two at the same time because it feeds as many people as it needs to and gives me a little left over to start dinner Monday night.

How do you suggest whipping up a delicious Sunday spread on a budget?

Cynthia: Chicken remains the most economical animal protein available. Again, roasting two chickens on Sunday gives you lots of options for the week ahead!

Growing up, what was your favorite Sunday meal?

Cynthia: You’ll see references in the South to a ”groaning board.” That’s the side board in a dining room. It’s groaning from all of the dishes weighing it down. How can I possibly choose? My grandmother would have two or three vegetables, two meats, and numerous starches in the menu. My favorite was fried chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes.

Do you have any tricks for sneaking extra veggies into comfort food Sunday dinners?

Cynthia: For a newbie vegetable eater, I recommend serving them roasted vegetables. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in the vegetable and makes it more palatable to the novice. I have turned countless people on to roasted green beans and roasted okra!

Description

This chunky chicken-and-brisket stew is easy to pull together and most of the cooking is unattended. It’s teeming with tomatoes, corn, and lima beans – all classic Brunswick stew ingredients. Cornbread is the traditional side dish, but I’ve changed it up a bit with sweet potatoes in the mix.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large onions (chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons jarred beef soup base

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté onions and garlic in hot oil in a 7.5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
