Diced chicken, rutabaga, and beets stew in a bowl.

Rutabaga Stew

AllRecipes.com
This is hearty, filling, and inexpensive — not to mention extremely delicious and fairly easy to make. The hardest and most time-consuming part of this stew is preparing the vegetables. Chop and dice all my vegetables by hand so it can take a little bit more time, but it is very much worth the extra effort it takes. Pork, beef, or venison are all good in this recipe too.

Ingredients 

  • 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs Chicken Diced
  • 4 Rutabagas Peeled and diced
  • 4 Beets Medium, peeled and diced
  • 4 Carrots Diced
  • 3 stalks Celery Diced
  • 1 Red Onion Diced
  • Water

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven Or large pot
  • Stovetop

Instructions

  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until completely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add rutabagas, beets, carrots, celery, and onion to the pot.
  • Pour enough water over the vegetable mixture to cover completely. Reduce heat to low and cook at a simmer for at least 4 hours, adding water as needed to keep vegetables submerged.
