Kentucky Burgoo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. beef, cubed
1 soup bone
1/2 lb. lamb, cubed
1 frying chicken, cut up
4 qt. water
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper to taste
2 c. diced potatoes
3 c. chopped onions
2 c. lima beans
4 carrots, diced
2 green peppers, diced
3 c. corn (fresh, if possible)
2 c. okra, diced
6 c. tomatoes (fresh or canned)
1/2 t. garlic
1 c. minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Combine beef, soup bone, lamb, chicken, water, salt, pepper and red pepper in a very large, heavy pot with a tight fitting lid. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for 2 hours. Remove chicken from the soup, skin and bone; cut meat into bite-size pieces. Return chicken meat to pot. Add potatoes, onion, lima beans, carrots, green peppers and corn. Simmer 2 hours. Mixture will be thick but should not stick. Add water sparingly, if necessary, to keep from sticking. Add okra, tomatoes and garlic and simmer 1 1/2 hours longer. Add parsley and remove from stove.
