Dodis Kentucky Burgoo

From strix_varia 18 years ago

My Mother's Kentucky Burgoo Recipe. It will feed an army of Derby or superbowl revelers. Serve with a good crusty bread.

Put all the meat in cold water and bring slowly to a boil. Simmer until tender enough to fall from bone.Lift the meat from the stock (discard bone).
Cool the meat and chop it into cubes.
Pare and dice potatoes and onions.
Return all meat and vegetables to the stock and add all ingredients and spices. Allow entire mixture to simmer until thick. Stir frequently and season to taste.
Cooking time approximately 10 hours.
Makes about 50 servings.
You may want to prepare Burgoo a couple of days in advance. May also be frozen for future meals.

Burgoo was originally a subsistence stew from Eastern Ky. You took what you had left over from the week and had preserved to make a stew to use up the leftovers. That's why it contains so many different meats and vegetables. Easter Ky is primarily a Scottish settlement area. So the foods there are different from Central Ky, or Western Ky. Kentucky was one of the early havens for cultures moving off or the east coast and is extremely varied in it's cultural mix. Burgoo is an Eastern Ky invention.
