    Stewing Hen

    Stewing Hen- I got it at the local farmers market. Stewing hens are worn out egg layers. So you have to cook them low heat for a good long time. I coated the bird with sea salt and pepper. Lined the slow cooker with rutabaga (in place of potatoes), celery, carrots, and red onion. 4 cups of chicken broth. I cup of water.

    In 8 hours I will let you know how it turns out.

    My wife makes them differently, she seasons the bird and places it in large pot with a steamer tray and steams it, after steaming so long she adds quartered potatoes and carrots and onions until the meat is almost falling off the bone.

    It was very good that way, I never had stewing hens your way though

    While I no longer eat meat, a good way to cook chicken is to "roast" it in a pressure cooker. The meat literally falls off the bones. Rutabaga is an interesting choice -- probably a very good choice. You'll probably like it very much.

    Dark meat (thighs, drums etc.) falls off the bone with minimal simmering. The breast takes much more time.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Give me the thighs. I do love to cook so I do love these threads. Keep them coming.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    8 hours in a slow cooker could tenderize your shoes. Lol I didn't think this would turn out tough or chewy.

    Not to change the subject but I'm big on duck eggs now. They're becoming regular Saturday morning fare.
