                TEALEAFS STEAK STEW WITH DUMPLINGS

You need for the stew:

coupla carrots, onion
spoonful o flour
herbs to yer fancy (include spig o thyme)
Oxo cube (saves time)

Dumplings:
2 oz veg suet (don't bother trying to get it from ASDA)
4oz flour
More herbs (prefeably fresh to garnish)

Method:

bung some oil in a pan & heat up, chop up yer carrots & onion & bung them in to; chop up the meat & sling that in to with the flour........if you've any wine from last nights bash, pour in and reduce...add your Oxo cube in a pint of hot water & cover and simmer for an hour.....

Meanwhile, mix your suet and flour togeather into a dough with a bit of water and make 8 dumplings

Bung 'em on the top of the stew for a further half hour

Spoon out, serve hot.

Viola! A good winter stew to warm your bones.

P.S. If beef is not available, try rabbit.....

Cover bottom of dish with half the onions, add a layer of 6 lamb chops and half the kidneys, season then repeat the layers, top layer is spuds brushed with butter, add some stock and put in oven for 1 hour 45mins with lid on.
