best beef stew and dumpling recipe needed please

[lovelysongbird]

thanks

I made a recipe once called Jools's Favourite Beef Stew from a Jamie Oliver Book - but I got the book from the library so can't give you the recipe. Sorry that's not much help at all - the stew was delicious though wish I'd copied the recipe.

Do you mean this one Puzzle

Haven't tried any of these, sorry, but they look nice (smile)

There's some really comments underneath Shinyshoes' first link! Just caught them in passing, really bizarre.

Dumplings 3 oz beaf suet, 6 oz SR flour season with whatever takes your fancy add enough water to bind and hey presto Dumplings.

Beed stew I am still trying to find a good combination together.

That would beef stew... although Bead stew is not far off from my attempts

There was recently a thread on Food about stews with some good tips.

Look here

Yes that is the stew
Just add dumplings - by Atora (I think its called?!) suet add flour and water and pop on top at the end of cooking.
I didnt use Jerusalem Artichoke but it was still lovely - can highly recommend.

See what you mean about the comments catinthehat. made me giggle (bad reflection on my weird sense of humour)

Oh my god Catinthehat, you are right about the comments on there. I am stocked and shunned!

oh thsnks for all the ideas im doing it tomorrow and im taking a bit from each and doing my own!.

hopefully it will turn out alright.
last time i browned the meat but do you usually bother?
.
i think i over cooked it last time.

that dickie sounds a right odd ball on jamies website

I made this one today. It had DS1 saying "Mummy, thank you for making such a delicious dinner" and he really isn't that sort of boy

thanks
