BURGUNDY STEW WITH HERB DUMPLINGS (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• 1. Stew: In a 5 qt. slow cooker or crock pot, mix all stew ingredients except water and flour. Cover; cook on low for 8-10 hours (or high for 5 hours)
• 2. In a small bowl, mix water and flour; gradually stir into beef mixture.
• 3. Biscuits: In a small bowl, mix bisquick, thyme and sage. Stir in milk just until bisquick is moistened. For fluffy dumplings, drop the dough onto the stew pieces rather than directly into the liquid. The dumplings will start to cook from the steam right away. For heavier dumplings drop dough by spoonfuls onto hot beef liquid.(they will be a little soggy this way), but delicious either way! Increase heat setting to high. Cover; cook 25 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of dumplings comes out clean. Serve immediately.

SLOW COOKER VEGETABLE STEW WITH CHEDDAR DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to low. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and fry the carrots for 5 mins until just golden, then tip into the slow cooker.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan and fry the leeks with a pinch of salt for 5 mins until soft. Add the garlic and stir in the flour. Gradually add the stock, stirring, until the flour has dissolved and there are no lumps. Bring to the boil, then tip into the slow cooker. Add the courgettes, beans and herbs, topping up with water to cover the veg, if needed. Cover and cook for 4 hrs.
• To make the dumplings, tip the flour into a bowl and stir in the suet or butter until evenly distributed. Add the cheese, parsley, ½ tsp cracked black pepper and a pinch of salt. Mix in 3-4 tbsp cold water with your hands to make a soft, slightly sticky dough (add a little more water if needed). Divide into six and roll into balls.
• Add the crème fraîche, mustard, broad beans or peas and spinach to the slow cooker and turn it to high. Arrange the dumplings over the stew, cover and cook for 1-2 hrs more until firm and doubled in size. Scatter with parsley and serve. Will keep for up to three days in the fridge or in the freezer for up to three months.
