Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Main course

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 27

900g pork shoulder , cut into 4cm chunks
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onions , finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp oregano leaves (or 2 tsp dried), plus extra, to serve
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp allspice
1 stock cube (beef, pork or chicken)
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp soft dark brown or muscovado sugar
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
zest and juice 2 oranges
2 red chillies , halved lengthways - seeds in or out, depending on whether you like it spicy
bunch spring onions , finely sliced
400g sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into 3-4cm/1.25in - 1.5in chunks
2 red peppers , deseeded and cut into chunks
2 x 400g cans black beans , drained and rinsed
100g cold butter , diced
200g self-raising flour
140g cornmeal or finely ground polenta, plus extra for dusting
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
140g sweetcorn , from a can, drained, or freshly cut from a cob (just boil for 3 mins first)
75ml buttermilk
1 medium egg , beaten

Steps:

  • Start by getting your biggest flameproof casserole dish and sealing the pork chunks in the oil - they don't have to be very well browned. Do in batches, then transfer to a plate and tip three-quarters of the onions, the celery, bay and oregano into the dish. Add a splash more oil, if you need, and fry gently until softened.
  • Tip in the spices, stir for 1 min to toast, then return the pork to the dish. Crumble in the stock cube and stir in the tomatoes, cocoa, sugar, 2 tbsp of the vinegar, the zest and juice from 1 orange, and 3 of the chilli halves. Bring to a simmer, then cover and leave to bubble for 1 hr.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved chilli half and mix with the remaining onions, the spring onions, and red wine vinegar and the zest and juice from the last orange. Keep cold in the fridge.
  • After 1 hr, stir the sweet potatoes and red peppers into the stew, then re-cover and simmer for another 30 mins.
  • When the stew has about 15 mins to go, make the dumplings. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine crumbs, then stir in the cornmeal, bicarb and sweetcorn. Finally, mix in the buttermilk and all but 1 tbsp of the egg to make a soft dough. Season with some salt and roll the mixture into 12 soft dumplings, then roll in a little more cornmeal to coat the tops. Brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Stir the beans into the stew, then taste for seasoning. Sit 6 of the dumplings on top of the stew and the rest on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Put both in the oven - the stew without its lid - and cook for 25 mins until the dumplings are golden and risen.
  • Carry the stew straight to the table, and sprinkle over a little more oregano before spooning into bowls. Serve the extra dumplings alongside for those who fancy another one, and the onion relish.

Time 4h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound boneless country-style pork ribs, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 quarts water
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
¼ cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
½ cup milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Arrange pork pieces one layer deep in a large baking pan. Broil, stirring often, until meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Pour off and discard the fat.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions; cook and stir until the onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not brown, 2 minutes more.
  • Stir in potatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Pour in water, beef bouillon, sliced carrots, chili powder, marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, bay leaves, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Simmer until the meat and all of the vegetables are tender, about 3 hours.
  • To make the Sage-Cornmeal Dumplings: combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, sage, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add milk all at once, stirring just until the mixture holds together.
  • When the stew is ready, remove the bay leaves. Bring the stew to a gentle boil over medium-low heat. Drop the dumplings by rounded spoonfuls evenly over the surface. Cover the pot and boil for 12 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through. Ladle the dumplings into soup bowls and top with lots of stew.

This healthy family supper has dumplings that soak up all the flavours of cider, mustard and a hint of apple, and it's 3 of your 5-a-day

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 onions , halved and sliced
3 celery sticks , thickly sliced
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp picked thyme leaves
500g lean pork fillet , cut into large chunks
2 tsp English mustard powder
4 large garlic cloves , grated
2 tbsp spelt flour
4 tbsp cider vinegar
800ml bouillon or chicken stock
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
2 leeks , thickly sliced
4 carrots , cut into chunks
140g spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp English mustard powder
2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp picked thyme leaves , plus a few sprigs to garnish
2 tbsp bio yogurt
2 tbsp rapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a flameproof and ovenproof dish. Add the onions, celery, bay and thyme, and fry for about 8 mins until softened. Add the pork and cook for a few mins until it changes colour, but it doesn't need to brown as you don't want to overcook it.
  • Stir in the mustard powder, garlic, flour and vinegar, then pour in the bouillon, stirring to prevent any lumps forming.
  • Add the apple, leeks and carrots, bring the liquid to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pan and simmer for 1 hr, stirring occasionally, until the pork and vegetables are tender.
  • When the stew is nearly cooked, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To make the dumplings, tip the flour, baking powder, mustard powder, parsley and thyme into a bowl and stir to combine. Put the yogurt in a jug, make up to 100ml with water, then stir in the oil. Lightly stir the liquid into the flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Divide the dough equally into eight and shape into balls. Drop them on top of the stew, drizzling each one with the remaining oil. Bake for 20 mins until the dumplings are golden. Scatter with the extra thyme, if you like, before serving.
