There are these small stewing hens on the market at about $2 each. I like to keep a couple of them around for stock. At just about 1½ lb. they are good serving size for one or two, I thought. I made this stew as an experiment. It turned out to be very tasty, richer and deeper than young chicken. The texture of the meat though is interesting. After an hour in the pressure cooker, it felt more like game birds or rabbit, tender but still well held together. The comparison is definitely more rabbit than chicken. I really enjoyed it.
