How Do You Make Irish Stew And Dumplings?
Irish stew and dumplings is a filling, mouth-watering, classic Irish stew. The sauce is rich and thick, and the tender lamb will melt in your mouth. Warm up with a big bowl of Irish stew and dumplings on a cold day. Place the meat in a large pot or dutch oven and pour enough meat stock or water to cover it. Season it with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Stir in the carrots, onions, turnip, celery, potatoes and fresh parsley and cook the stew for 35 minutes. Thicken the stew with flour if needed, and add the dumplings. Cover the pot tightly and cook the Irish stew with dumplings cook for about 20 minutes. Sift the flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a fork or a pastry knife until it looks like large crumbs. Add a bit of water if the mixture is too thick. Place the dough on a lightly floured board and roll it until it’s about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dumpling dough into small squares and drop it into the hot stew.
