Description
This comforting one-pot meal features tender pork and wholesome cabbage simmered in a savory broth, topped with fluffy, cheesy cheddar dumplings.
Ingredients
1 lb pork, diced
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the diced pork, chopped cabbage, chopped onion, chopped carrots, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 3: While the stew simmers, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Mix with a spoon just until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4: Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture directly into the simmering stew. Cover the pot again and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
Step 5: Garnish the stew generously with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty one-pot meal!
Notes
For extra flavor, brown the diced pork in a little oil before adding the other stew ingredients. Don't crowd the pot when dropping in dumplings; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking. Ensure the stew is simmering, not boiling vigorously, when dumplings are added.
