Irish Stew is one of the best casserole dishes in the entire world. If you top it with dumplings, then bake it in the oven so that they turn crusty and crunchy, you will have a heavenly banquet on your plate. Serve it as the Irish do, with simple boiled cabbage. To make the dumplings: sift dry ingredients together, cut in fat and add enough milk to give a smooth drop batter.

Steps to make My Gran's Irish Stew And Dumplings:
  1. Bring large pot of water to the boil. Chop and add the leek. Add bay leaves and cloves. Simmer for about 1 hour
  2. Add hot stock (water will have reduced a little bit). Peel potatoes and carrots. Put them in. Continue simmering for another 30 minutes
  3. Brown mince, don't use oil. Drain excess fat and add it in. Continue simmering for another 15-20 minutes.
  4. Make dumplings. Add herbs and cold butter to flour. Rub with your fingers until you get breadcrumbs. Add a sprinkle of cold water and mix until the dough is sticky
  5. Using a teaspoon, dump the dumplings in the stew. Simmer for about another 20-30 minutes. Add salt to taste
  6. Serve and enjoy 😊

Drop by spoonfuls over the top of the stew (the stew should be kept boiling hot). Serve in a nice big bowl with some cracked pepper on top. The simple dumpling dough recipe is similar to a biscuit, but the batter is dropped directly into a hot liquid instead of rolled, cut out, and baked. The dumplings are then steamed and boiled directly in the stew or soup in which they will be served, such as in the classic recipe for chicken and dumplings.
