A WINTER'S WALK BEEF AND CARROT STEW WITH HERB CRUSTED DUMPLINGS
I named this A Winter's Walk Beef Stew, as it is JUST the kind of hearty and welcoming meal to come back to after a cold and energetic winter's walk! The dumplings are baked for the last 20 minutes on top of the stew and are deliciously crisp and golden, but still fluffy and light underneath. This can be made with minced beef/ground beef as well as braising/stewing steak or chuck steak. I have allowed 2 dumplings per person here - please adapt the quantities to suit, but we always find 2 dumplings each very satisfying! There is no need to serve much else with this filling comforting stew, maybe some steamed cabbage, baby potatoes or greens would be nice.....or a few extra carrots. This serves 4 people with very generous helpings. You may need a walk AFTERWARDS!! A nice glass of robust red wine or a pint of ale would be great accompaniments! This can be made in a crockpot - up to the dumpling stage and then the stew can be put into an ovenproof dish and baked with the dumplings. Likewise, if you are going for a pre-dinner walk - make the stew right up to the dumpling stage, and then finish off when you get home.

BEEF CASSEROLE WITH HERB DUMPLINGS
This is clipped from an Australian Women's magazine. The aroma while in the oven was wonderful. My family enjoyed the subtle herby flavours and tender meat. Although the recipe calls for 12 garlic cloves, that flavour was not overpowering as they were cooked whole. The buttermilk dumplings were melt in the mouth. Overall however the flavours were somewhat subtle and I will add something more next time....

JENNIFER'S HERB DUMPLINGS
I found about 4 dumpling recipes in Zaar, but not quite the same as this one, and 3 attached to other recipes. If you are an uncertain cook, this is for you. It's very easy to make and for some reason not known to man, it never flops. It makes lovely fluffy dumplings atop a pot of soup. A real comfort food anyone can make with success.

Steps:
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
- Rub in the butter with your fingers until crumbly.
- Mix in pepper, parsley, onion and thyme (or use basil or rosemary, whatever you fancy).
- Beat the egg well in a small bowl, and add. Stir in roughly.
- Now add just enough milk to make a sticky dough -- not too wet, not dry, just sticky enough to stick to your fingers.
- The soup (or meat stew with a lot of sauce) should be simmering. Drop in dessertspoons of the dough, scraping it out of spoon with a finger, into the soup.
- Cover the pot. Simmer 20 minutes. By now the dumplings should be cooked.
- Take off the lid, and simmer for a further 5 minutes or so, so that the tops of the dumplings dry a little.
- Real comfort food on a cold night!

BEEF HOT POT WITH HERB DUMPLINGS
Got this from a magazine about 4 years ago but don't know which one. Beef Hot Pot can be made up to 2 days ahead, covered and kept in refridgerator. To finish cooking, reheat hot pot base until simmering, place Herb Dumplings on top and cook as directed. Recipe could be doubled and you could freeze half for later (follow suggestions for cooking ahead), continue cooking other half for that night. For a pot luck I've cooked it without the dumplings and transferred it to a slow cooker (crockpot) and taken it in that as I can plug in to keep warm.

Steps:
- 1. This dish starts out with lots of flavor by using lots of chicken, garlic, onions & celery soup, because I was out of fresh celery.
- 2. Begin by seasoning the chicken pieces with the steak seasoning and granulated garlic. If chicken is frozen just add pieces to a large pot, cover with water and add in the spices. Place pot over medium high heat, cover with lid and bring to boil, then lower heat and allow to simmer.
- 3. Mince the cloves of garlic, and chop the onions and shred carrots & add to the pot as well. Then over a medium high heat, continue to cook the chicken parts until tender. About an hour to 1 and a half hour.
- 4. When chicken is fully cooked remove to a large platter and allow to cool.
- 5. When cool enough to handle remove & discard the outer skin bones and cartlidge, set chicken aside till needed.
- 6. Prepare the dumplings by combining the flour with the herbs and spices. Then add in the eggs and olive oil, and stir with a spoon or spatula. Then add in the chicken stock and stir until dough comes together.
- 7. Liberally dust the counter surface with extra flour. Divide dough into 2 pieces, then roll each half on counter into a long rectangle shape.
- 8. Then using a pastry cutter or knife cut dough into long strips, then cut into opposite directions creating one and a half to two inch pieces.
- 9. Alternate the dumpling pieces onto a platter and repeat until all the dough has been cut. In the mean time cover the chicken stock with a lid and bring to a rolling boil. Then drop dumplings into hot stock and stir occasionally to prevent dumplings from sticking. Repeat until all the dumplings has been added. Then add in the boneless pieces of chicken.
- 10. Cover the pot with lid and return to boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, dumplings will rise to the top of pot. add a few pats of butter if desired, adjust seasoning after tasting if desired, then serve while still hot.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH HERB DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- Longer method: In a large dutch oven, cover the chicken with the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Poach the thighs about 20 mins. Remove from heat. Pull chicken out of broth. When cooled, shred the meat from the bones and set aside. Return the bones/scraps to the pot- bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and keep the heat low. Simmer for at least an hour, or several hours if you have the time. Strain stock through cheesecloth, return to the pot. Quick version: Put the broth in a large dutch oven and heat over a low flame. Pick about 2 cups worth of chicken meat from the roast. Set aside. Both versions can continue on here: 1 cup thinly sliced carrots (2 carrots) 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery (1 rib celery) 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion (2 large onions) Add to the simmering stock and start the dumplings. To make the dumplings: 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Quickly rub in the butter with your fingers and then add the milk and herbs. Stir. To finish: Add the onions and chicken to the soup. Raise the heat a little and drop the dumpling dough into the soup by pulling rough balls from the dough, slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and poke at the dumplings, which should be bopping on the surface, to turn them. Keep the soup at a steady simmer and cook another 10 minutes or so.

- Chop the herbs finely: Finely chopped herbs distribute their flavor more evenly throughout the dumplings.
- Use a variety of herbs: Experiment with different combinations of herbs to create unique and flavorful dumplings. Some good options include parsley, chives, basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and sage.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the dumplings tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cover the dumplings while cooking: Covering the dumplings while cooking helps them to steam and cook evenly.
- Serve the dumplings hot: Dumplings are best served hot out of the pot.
