This dumpling recipe has extra flavor from fresh herbs.
I just love fresh homemade dumplings, whether it’s in a beef stew, in chicken and dumplings or buttered and served as a side dish with pretty much anything. You can add them to soups too. Creamy sausage and kale soup with this herbed dumpling recipe? For sure.
Just imagine a pot of simmering delicious stew with tender herbed dumplings waiting for you after a hard day. Now that’s a nice thought.
These little gems are easy to make and take just 20 minutes to cook on top of hot stew.
These dumplings would taste great cooked over hot chicken stew, but how about beef stew, goulash or even chili! It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Really, anything that is cooked in a gravy or thick sauce could be topped by this herbed dumplings recipe. Even beef Bourguignon, although many Frenchmen would think that almost sacrilegious.
That’s one of the things that is so fantastic about cooking. You can make things that you enjoy and put them together in ways that others might not think of. Whatever you are going to enjoy works.
