Oh No! No Potatoes! Stew W/ Caraway Dumplings

"I had the stew meat thawed. I had the onions cut. I had the seasonings out. Then I realized that the potatoes were rotten and it was too late to call my husband to have him pick up potatoes on the way home. So I scoured the fridge for inspiration. DH and the kids all told me I should make this again so I'm typing it up. It should be easy to halve for a smaller family."

  1. This was really, really good! I loved the cabbage chunks, and the mild flavor of the sauce. And I loved the caraway in the dumplings, although my kids didn't. Next time I make this, and there will definitely be a next time, I will probably use noodles for the kids, and make fewer dumplings, just for the grownups. Fantastic cold-weather dinner, 3KB's! Thanks!
