Dagobah stew! Breakfast of champions and Jedi Masters. Yoda’s apparently nasty-tasting stew is featured in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. We don’t actually know what Yoda had in his stew, based on the scene where he encourages Jedi apprentice Luke Skywalker to eat.
One can guess there were lots of slimy creatures in it, muddy roots, and brackish plant life. Here at RunPee Kitchens we’ve worked with what’s on Earth and came up with an inexpensive, easy, and absolutely deliciously filling swamp stew creation. It’s got root veggies (carrots and garlic), vegetable stalks (celery) and…chicken. We didn’t have any lizard flesh on hand.

Our advice: don’t skimp on the meat. You want it to be more stewish than soupish. It’s a simple recipe.
Feel free to cook it in a metal kettle over the fire, just like Yoda does.
Simple, inexpensive recipe for Yoda Style Dagobah Stew
Ingredients:
1 carrot (or 1⁄3 each of three different carrots, as in photo above — we used heirloom carrots for color and taste)
2 ribs of celery
3 cloves of garlic
Oil (as needed)
Salt (as needed)
1⁄2-1 quart chicken broth/stock
Cooked, shredded chicken meat (As we said above, this should be lizard meat, since that’s what you’re going to get on Dagobah. But since Luke made a face, we’ll assume lizard sucks. Unless it tastes like chicken. According to The Matrix, everything does…)
Directions:
Chop carrots and celery, and mince garlic. Add half of carrots and celery to a pot over medium heat with oil (1-2 Tbsp.) and salt, and sweat them for a few minutes. Add the garlic and stir around until fragrant. Add chicken stock, bring to a soft boil, and let cook for a few minutes. Add the remaining half of the carrots and celery, let simmer for a couple more minutes, add the chicken shreds, and just bring back to a boil. Taste, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve.
BEST SERVED: Set out in simple bowls, hot, as you cue up your favorite Star Wars movies. We chose to watch Solo for Star Wars Day (a highly underrated film), but if you watch Empire, try to time your food to eat during the Dagobah scene in Yoda’s hut. Enjoy with Green or Blue Milk!
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
