Let's face it Texans are the masters of corn cookery.As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. The cayenne was excellent it's just the right offset for that flour-ey pastey blandness that sometimes happens. I'd like to see the bread component cut into 1 inch squares like the BBC recipie. I'd say the best offering to this dish is Lamb's stone ground cornmeal. I have dropped cornmeal into stock but find it floats away in bits. I was very impressed by this blogs command of ingredients. I sort of got the feeling that somewhere in London a lady from India is dropping 2 spoons of curry in the pot. Notably they put a huge amount of cayenne into the biscuit dough.
Last week I did BBC -Uk's Chicken and dumplings. So I did the research and tried several methods some were long ribbons of awful chewy stuff. He could not tell me how she had done it. I made my version and he was quite irate saying "this is not the way my Mom made it. I married a Floridian whose Mom was from Pensylvania. On the ranch my mom made drop biscuit dough and it was the only version I knew. And sometimes, that’s just what you need. But don’t worry, these Tex-Mex chicken and dumplings still fulfill the original dish’s mandate, which is that after eating it you will feel cozy and satisfied. These are definitely not your grandmother’s chicken and dumplings. (And did you know that tamales are considered dumplings? I didn’t!). The Tex-Mex trinity of jalapeno, cilantro and lime paired with the light corn dumplings reminded me of a soupy chicken-tamale pie. But instead I came up with an even better idea: cornmeal dumplings. To keep with the Tex-Mex theme, I considered making it the easy way-with strips of flour tortillas standing in for proper dumplings. First, I decided to spice it up with some jalapenos and cilantro. I’ve had lots of people ask me for my recipe, but since we didn’t make them at home, I took some liberties when coming up with a version of this classic dish. And when I tucked into the thick, creamy concoction, I realized what I had been missing for so long: chicken and dumplings are like a security blanket in a bowl. The dough had expanded to nearly four times its size and the soup and the dumplings had become one.
That was fun, but the real magic occurred when we returned a few minutes later. I, however, disagree.Īs Laura’s mother dropped the balls of dough into the bubbling broth, she allowed us to throw a couple into the pot as well. I know that seems kind of a late age to be introduced to the dish, but sadly, I don’t come from chicken and dumplings people-certain members of my family think they’re too mushy.
The first time I had chicken and dumplings was at my friend Laura’s house when I was in second grade. Oh, and of course, these cafés always serve chicken and dumplings. You know the kind of joint I’m talking about-it’s a place where you can get a cheese enchilada to go with your chicken-fried steak, the lima beans are dripping with a bacon-rich broth, the iced tea is served in a bottomless glass and the toughest decision you’ll make that day is whether to order the pie or the cobbler for dessert. One of the best things about these towns is that they usually have a café that specializes in classic Texan cooking. My latest obsession is taking road trips on many of the state’s two-lane highways, motoring through some of the smaller towns that you wouldn’t normally see if you stayed on the interstates. And when you pair it with chicken to make chicken and dumplings, you have one of my favorite belly-filling, spirit-warming, cold-weather dishes.Īs befits a homesick Texan, I spend chunks of time thinking of places I’d like to visit when I’m at home. Is there a cuter word in the English language than dumpling? Nope, I didn’t think so.
