Southern stew recipe: Kentucky Burgoo

27 March, 2019 by Expat Living 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/southern-stew-recipe-kentucky-burgoo/

Burgoo is Kentucky’s most famous stew, usually made for big gatherings, like Derby Day, in huge kettles. It dates back to before the Civil War and, as legend has it, was invented by a French chef. It’s a bit of an ‘empty-the-fridge recipe’ and typically has at least three different meats, and plenty of vegetables. It’s simple, easy, freezes well and can be made from any meat available. As with most stews, burgoo is even better the second day. Don’t be put off by the lengthy list of ingredients – good things come to those who wait!”

-Dr Leo Hamilton, American Senior Doctor at IMC Paediatric
