Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat a medium pot on medium heat. Add a little oil and then the stew meat. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and then brown evenly on all sides.
- Remove from the pot and set aside.
- Add a little more oil if necessary and then add the peppers and onions and sauté, stirring regularly until lightly browned.
- Add the garlic, cumin and turmeric and sauté for 1 minute more, stirring frequently.
- Add the vinegar and tomatoes and give a good stir. Make sure to scrape all the brown bits off of the bottom of the pot.
- Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a low. Simmer, taking care to not boil, for about 90 minutes or until the meat is tender enough to cut with a fork.
- Now for the dumplings. While the stew is cooking, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
- Cut in the butter with a pastry knife/blender until you have a corn meal like texture.
- Gradually add the milk while stirring. Make sure that the dough is sticky and a little wet.
- Now using tablespoons, scoop portions of the dough and drop into the simmering stew. Cover with a lid and steam the dumplings for about 10 minutes or until the dumplings are cooked all the way through.
- Serve the stew with a couple of dumplings each and enjoy!
Variations
- Add 1 cup coconut milk to make the broth rich and creamy.
- Take out the beef and add in boneless skinless chicken thighs instead. Reduce cook time to about 1 hour.
