Beef Stew with Thyme Dumplings
My first recipe of the year is usually something super healthy like my California Fresh Crab & Avocado Summer Rolls with Creamy Miso Yogurt, Salmon Poke Bowls or my Roasted Almond, Tomato & Feta Five Grain Bowl, but to be honest this year I’m just not feeling it. Rather than filling my fridge with everything bright, crunchy and colourful all I want to do is cook food that is rich and cosy. So, for my first post of the new decade I wanted to share a cosy classic I’ve come back to again and again but (up until now) I have never shared: my Easy Beef Stew with Thyme Dumplings.
