Hockham Admiral Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The stew that they went into looked good, too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Another specialty, thank you. I make a stew at home in the slow cooker and freeze it , also I make the dumplings at the same time and freeze them uncooked ready to go in the stew. They come out fine. A lovely warming meal on a cold evening on a boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I will have to have a look at this tonight, as through the winter we quite commonly have my slow cooker stew on a sunday (monday and tuesday too if there is enough left.)

VetChugger Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I love dumplings all ways and often make them using this method. My other favourite method is in casserole in the oven. After they have been in for 20 minutes I "dunk" them in the casserole then leave the lid off for five minutes. They end up with a lovely crispy top! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 well the stew is in the slow cooker (been there for 1 1/2 hours so far, 5 hours to go. I got some frying steak which was cubed up for the pot, carrots turnip, onions and a couple of potatoes were cubed up and added, plus a couple of stock cubes. off to the shops next and suet and self raising flour purchased, now my only concern is if there is space for the dumplings, I do have a plan B, half of the stew may be transferred into a second slow cooker later which should make room for the dumplings. more later once I have added dumplings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 several hours later and the stews looking good. I removed enough to do another tea another day, then made up the dumplings and added them to the stew, they will now get half an hour or 45 minutes (we will see how it goes, this is a slow cooker after all).

SteveO Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We finally got around to trying this recipe today. I made the dumplings per the recipe, but using vegetarian suet and added 3/4 teaspoon each of dried sage and thyme as well as the salt and pepper. We cooked them in a stew that had been done in the pressure cooker. I had intended to simply use the cooker's lid to keep the steam in, but forgot that our cooker has the pressure valve built into the lid so inadvertently ended up pressure cooking the dumplings - dohhhh!!!!!!!! We let the pressure down and opened the lid with trepidation, to find that we had perfectly cooked, light and fluffy dumplings that had grown to around 3 x their uncooked size. The addition of the herbs made them a perfect accompaniment to the stew. Just the thing for a cold, wet and windy day like today. Kudos Geofferey and thanks for a great recipe! PS Neither Mrs O nor me have been able to make dumplings as good as these before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
