MARTHA'S CHICKEN SOUP WITH PARSLEY DUMPLINGS
This recipe came from a Martha Stewart magazine.The dumplings in this are unusual, with lemon zest, and cornmeal. I love them, but remember that the taste and texture of the dumplings is different from standard dumplings. I add more parmesan cheese to the mixture, but I will post it as it is in the recipe. I used the shallot the first time, but it is just fine without, or replaced with a minced onion. I cook the chicken first, but the recipe doesn't specify.

Let cook for two minutes then remove the dumplings with a slotted onto a sheet pan. Repeat with remaining dough (Reserve 2 cups of cooked dumplings for Round 2 Recipe German Dumpling Soup.)

IONE'S PARSLEY DUMPLINGS
My Grandma Ione always seemed to have a huge pot of soup or stew bubbling on the stove, and these little gems would be floating on top. If there were any left, they were even better the next day. This dumpling is best suited for a soup or stew with substantial liquid. After a few folks thought these were a little dry, I added the option to add 1 tsp of milk if necessary. You do want a soft dough, but not wet. Also I noted to use large eggs which I had not specified before. Thank you for your suggestions :)

CHICKEN STEW FRANCAIS WITH PARSLEY DUMPLINGS
This chicken stew is fabulous! The broth is salty but slightly sweet and thick. I'm not sure if it is the tarragon or the white wine that give the sweetness. The carrots and potatoes add so much to this dish. And I loved the dumpling addition. This will be great on a cold winter night!

Tips:
- Use fresh parsley: Fresh parsley has a more intense flavor than dried parsley, so it's best to use it whenever possible.
- Chop the parsley finely: Finely chopped parsley will distribute its flavor more evenly throughout the dumplings.
- Use a combination of bread crumbs and flour: This will help the dumplings to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too dense.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dumplings tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dumplings rest before cooking: This will allow the bread crumbs to absorb the liquid and help the dumplings to hold their shape.
- Cook the dumplings in a simmering liquid: Boiling water will cause the dumplings to break apart, so simmer them gently instead.
- Serve the dumplings immediately: Dumplings are best served hot, so eat them as soon as they are cooked.
Conclusion:
Parsley dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are especially good with soups, stews, and casseroles. With their fresh parsley flavor and light, fluffy texture, parsley dumplings are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
