Q: I always have to get the Brunswick stew every time we visit Dreamland
Barbecue in Roswell. I would love to have the recipe. Can you help us out?
-- Chris Grady, Marietta
A: Unless you’re going to dig a barbecue pit in your backyard, you probably won’t be able to achieve the smoky depths of flavor found in Dreamland’s Brunswick stew recipe. But with a bottle of the company’s secret-recipe sauce purchased online (www.dreamlandbbq.com) or at the Roswell or Norcross (5250 Peachtree Parkway) locations, you can create a pretty good facsimile. Brunswick stew connoisseurs will note another unusual feature of Dreamland’s recipe: the lack of lima beans. “I love lima beans, but so many people don’t, so we leave them out,” says Roswell store general manager Larry Pendleton, who’s been with the company since 1993.

Hands on time: 30 minutes Total time: 20 hours and 30 minutes Serves: 16
Ingredients:
-
FOR STEW:
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 large potato, diced
2 cups chicken broth
1 (32-ounce) jar Dreamland Barbecue Sauce
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can yellow corn
1 1/4 pounds pit cooked pork (see below)
1 1/4 pounds cooked and pulled chicken (see below)
FOR PULLED PORK AND CHICKEN:
(Yields approximately 2 1/2 pounds cooked meat)
Hands on: 20 minutes Total time: 18-20 hours
If you don’t operate a barbecue pit, this method is a reasonable substitute. If you have a kitchen scale, you can weigh the meat after you shred it.
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of hot sauce
1 (4-pound) bone-in pork shoulder
Dash of liquid smoke
2 1/2 pounds chicken (with bones and skin, or 1 3/4 pounds skinless and boneless)
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
For the stew:
In a stock pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potato and chicken broth and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce, tomatoes, corn, pork and chicken. Cook for 2 hours over medium-low heat, stirring every 15 minutes or so to prevent sticking. Add additional chicken stock if the stew gets too thick.
For the meat:
In a large, non-metallic bowl, combine the onion, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Add the pork; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8-10 hours, turning occasionally.
Transfer the pork, onions and juices into a crock pot. Add the liquid smoke and chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours. When meat is very tender, remove from cooking liquid (discard liquid). Shred the meat with two forks.

Notes:
Dreamland’s pit-cooked pork and barbecue sauce give this stew its own special twist, but you will end up with a very good Brunswick stew even if you cook the meat at home (minus the pit) and use a different brand of thin-style barbecue sauce. (We tested ours with Dreamland Bar-B-Que sauce, however.)
Total cooking time includes about 9 hours of marinating time and 9 hours of cooking time for the pulled pork and chicken.
