1 lb. PORK SHOULDER
1 lb. VEAL SHANK
1 lb. BEEF SHANK or OX TAIL
2 lbs. MUTTON or LAMB BREAST
6 qts. WATER
1 tsp. dried SAGE
2 tsp. dried THYME
2 whole BAY LEAVES
2 dried RED PEPPER PODS
4 tsp. SALT
3/4 tsp. freshly ground BLACK PEPPER
1 (4 lb.) HEN, with giblets
2 cups chopped CABBAGE
1 lb. boiling POTATOES, peeled and sliced
1 lb. ONIONS, peeled and chopped
1/2 lb. CARROTS, peeled and chopped
2 cups blanched, peeled, seeded and chopped TOMATOES
1 cup LIMA BEANS
1 1/2 cups CORN
1 cup thinly sliced OKRA
1 1/2 Tbsp. WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
1/2 cup chopped fresh PARSLEY
Combine the pork, veal, beef and mutton in a 16-quart stockpot. Add water, sage, thyme, bay leaves, red pepper, salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Add the hen and its giblets. Continue simmering gently for another 1 1/2 hours, or until all the meats are tender. Remove the meats and set aside to cool. Bone and chop all of the meat (or put it through the coarse blade of a food grinder-do not use a food processor.) Return the meat to the broth and add the cabbage, potatoes, onions, carrots and tomatoes. Simmer for 30 minutes and then add the lima beans. Cook at the barest simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add the corn, okra and Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional 30 minutes. Stir in the fresh parsley, add salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 16.
Note: Serve burgoo with a spicy potato salad that includes pickle relish, boiled eggs and mustard and don't forget a slice of bread for sopping up the juices. |
