These herbed dumplings are a delightful addition to any stew or casserole, adding a fluffy and flavorful touch.
Combine the flour, suet, salt, pepper, garlic granules, dried herbs, oregano, and chili powder in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Add the water slowly to avoid making the dough too sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Use floured hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
Place the dumplings into your hot stew or casserole, ensuring they are submerged slightly.
Ensure the stew is hot to help the dumplings cook properly.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings cook for 20 minutes without lifting the lid.
Do not lift the lid during cooking to maintain the steam.
Serve the stew with the dumplings on top, garnished with fresh parsley.
Use fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
