Hi Pauline, sorry for the delayed reply….have been smashed busy at work. It was fabulous. We have never made dumplings such as these before. My hubby was so excited to do something ‘different’. It turned out really great. I am out at a Prof Development day all day tomorrow (Saturday) so I am entrusting hubby with the recipe to make it again. My only comment was that the casserole tasted a bit salty. I had not added any salt to the dish at all. I could only look to the stock and the tinned tomatoes. However, on inspection it does not look like the tomatoes were the cause, and then the bought stock is also not especially high in salt. I did throw in a little bit of Worcestershire sauce , but even that is not a lot given the volume added. So ….not sure why it tasted like that. Don’t get me wrong it was great. The dumplings turned out really well and with a bit of sourdough on the side (with or without butter) was a great addition. I also browned the meat…. as I like that effect. I bought shin beef from Costco for the dish and it was great. I did trim off the ikky bits….but $25 made enough for 6-8 people. I like their cut because it is so chunky and not the pathetic chuck steak ‘steaks’ from other places. No disrespect intended, but buying it much more thick is better for slow cooking. Anyway, hope this is helpful. 🙂
