Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler.

02

Step
1 mins

Arrange pork pieces in a single layer in a large baking pan.

03

Step
10 mins

Broil pork under the preheated broiler, stirring frequently, until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard excess fat.

04

Step
7 mins

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

05

Step
3 hrs

Stir in potatoes, water, carrots, chili powder, beef bouillon, marjoram, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, bay leaves, nutmeg, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meat and vegetables are tender, about 3 hours.

06

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, sage, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt for the dumplings. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk, stirring until the dough just comes together.

07

Step
12 mins

Once the stew is ready, remove the bay leaves. Bring the stew to a gentle boil over medium-low heat. Drop spoonfuls of dumpling dough evenly over the surface of the stew. Cover the pot and simmer until the dumplings are cooked through, about 12 minutes.

08

Step
1 mins

Ladle dumplings and stew into bowls and serve.

For a richer flavor, brown the pork ribs in the Dutch oven before adding the onions.
Experiment with different root vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or sweet potatoes for a unique twist.
The sage cornmeal dumplings can also be enjoyed in other hearty stews or soups.
Ensure the dumplings are cooked through by testing with a toothpick – it should come out clean.
