DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Dutch Oven Chicken and Dumplings image

I was born in Arkansas, and this recipe is one I grew up on. It's one of my favorite Dutch oven soup recipes. Plus, it's so easy and filling...you can fix it for anyone. Sometimes, if my husband and I are going fishing all day, I'll prepare the chicken the day before. Then, when we get home, I'll reheat it, mix up my dumplings, plop them on top and have supper ready to serve within 20 minutes. -Patricia Collins, Imbler, Oregon

DUTCH BEEF STEW WITH BEER AND DUMPLINGS

Dutch Beef Stew With Beer and Dumplings image

This is pretty darned close to the delicious stew I used to get in the Netherlands. The secret is using a very dark, very malty beer or ale. It's baked in the oven and then finished on the stove, so be sure to use a Dutch oven or pot that can be heated both ways.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 lb lean stewing beef, cubed
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth or 1 cup stock
12 ounces dark beer
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
2/3 cup milk

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325.
Dredge beef in flour, then brown in oil in a Dutch oven. Remove and set aside.
Brown onion and garlic in pan drippings. Add 1 T brown sugar, 2 t of wine vinegar, thyme, pepper, bay leaf, and chopped parsley.
Pour stock over stew, and then add beer.
Cover, and bake for 2 hours at 325.
While the stew is baking, make the dumplings. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt together. Mix the butter in (I melt it first), and then stir in the milk. Batter should be a little bit dry but fluffy.
Remove from oven and place on stove on medium heat. Stir in remaining 2 t of vinegar. When bubbling, drop dumpling batter by the tablespoon into the stew.
Cover and simmer 15 minutes.

Tips for Making Dutch Dumplings:

Use cold butter: This will help to create a flaky crust.
Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make it tough.
Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will make it easier to handle.
Roll the dough out evenly: This will help to ensure that the dumplings cook evenly.
Cut the dumplings into uniform sizes: This will help to ensure that they cook at the same rate.
Cook the dumplings in a single layer: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
Flip the dumplings halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite sauce.

Conclusion:

Dutch dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect Dutch dumplings that will impress your family and friends.
