Instructions

Sauté the aromatics

In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, just until fragrant.

Build the stew base

Pour in the chicken broth, then add the diced potatoes, canned tomatoes with their juices, lima beans, and corn.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Simmer the vegetables

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Incorporate the meats and seasonings

Stir in the shredded pulled pork, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Return the stew to a steady simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the broth to thicken slightly.

Adjust and finish

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning as desired — adding a touch of brown sugar for balance, more barbecue sauce for tang and depth, or extra salt and pepper to sharpen the flavor.
