Lamb Stew With Steamed Dumplings

Ingredients

• 1 lb lamb, cut into small squares
• Cold water
• 3 slices salt pork, diced and fried crisp
• 2 onions, sliced
• 2-3 potatoes, diced
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Milk, as needed for stiff batter
• Flour blended with cold milk for thickening

Method

1. 1 Place lamb in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer slowly until nearly tender.
2. 2 Add the fried salt pork, sliced onions, and diced potatoes. Cover and continue cooking until the meat and vegetables are fully tender.
3. 3 Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Mix in enough milk to form a very stiff batter.
4. 4 Drop spoonfuls of batter into buttered patty pans. Steam over boiling water until cooked through.
5. 5 Whisk flour and cold milk into the stew gravy to thicken. Serve stew with steamed dumplings.
