MacKenzie Posted January 3, 2016 Report Posted January 3, 2016 Beef has been cooking for 2 hours at 275F and is ready for the veggies. A little balancing act here. Veggies are stirred in. A little dry so added a cup of water. After 2 more hours added some peas and previously cooked turnip and parsnips. Cooke for 10 mins. and the stew is ready. I had to take some stew out of the casserole to make room for the dumplings. At this stage I put the casserole on the kitchen stove to do the dumplings. Drop the dough in, cover and let the dumplings steam for 20 mins. No peaking. 20 mins later. Plated. Dumpling interior, remember don't cut with a knife. It will flatten the dumpling, eat it with a fork.
tinyfish Posted January 3, 2016 Report Posted January 3, 2016 Wow MacKenzie, that is one hardy delicious meal. Who doesn't love a nice beef stew once the weather turns cold.
MacKenzie Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks everyone. Dumpling recipe: 1C flour 2t baking powder 1/4t salt 1/2C whole milk Mix dry ingredients then add milk. Don't over work the dough. It needs to be a consistency that will allow the dough to be dropped from a spoon. Make sure the liquid is boiling and drop the dough on top of the veggies. Cover for 20 mins. No peaking! Eat them with a fork.
Cookie Posted January 3, 2016 Report Posted January 3, 2016 I love me some chicken n dumplings, and I love me some beef stew. Never thought about putting the dumplings in the beef...BRILLIANT! Sweet lookin' cook.
MacKenzie Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks, Cookie, I'm wanting chicken stew with dumplings myself but it will be a while before I do that.
ckreef Posted January 3, 2016 Report Posted January 3, 2016 Really great looking Stew. Love the dumplings. Can you post the dumplings recipe? When I make them I do a Bisquick recipe but I'm always open to try new recipes. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
