Fried Dumplins' And Greens
- dumplings
- 2 cups (or so) flour. I use white flour cause wwh.
- makes the dumplins stiff.
- handfull of cornmeal
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- Cold water
- greens
- 1 small onion
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 small tomato, slices very thin
- sweet pepper (as much as you like)
- shredded cabbage, calalloo, spinach, collard greens,
- mustard greens or any other you like.
- for dumplings
- Mix dry stuff then add enough water to make a nice
- soft dough. I mix it by hand right in the bowl. Form
- a long tube with dough and break pieces off about the
- size of a biscuit. Form into little round pieces (see
- picture).
- Fry in med. olive oil. Fry them SLOW so cornmeal has
- enough time to "soak". Turn when LIGHT brown, then
- turn again to brown sides, keep turning until they are
- light brown all over. They take a long time to be
- perfect. So don't rush and fry them too fast.
- for greens
- Do this while the dumplins are cooking.
- In large sauce pan put enough olive oil to cover the
- bottom. Heat on med. heat add:
- 1 small onion
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 small tomato, slices very thin
- sweet pepper (as much as you like)
- saute for 2-3 minutes
- Turn off heat and add
- shredded cabbage, calalloo, spinach, collard greens,
- mustard greens or any other you like. You can just
- use one or mix them. Remember as it cooks it shrinks.
- I like to add a shredded carrot on top. Cover, let
- steam in own juice for a couple minutes then add a
- slice of habenero pepper and stir to mix everything
- together, I use the scotch bonnet pepper sauce that I
- make in Jamaica. Remember only make it as hot as you
- like. We made this one (pictures) so hot it burned my
- mouth BAD.
- Sometimes I put some peanut butter in the greens at
- the end and stir it around. Love to slather peanut
- butter on the dumplins then pile on the vegys.
