- 11hrs
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 lb red kidney beans
- 1 lb stewing beef
- 1⁄4 lb salt beef
- 1⁄2 lb flour
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 stalks scallions
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 2 ounces cooking oil
- 3 pints water
directions
- Soak the Salt Beef overnight (included in prep time), this will stop the stew from tasting too salty.
- Wash Red Kidney Beans and remove discolored beans or foreign matter. In a 2-quart stock pot, add beef products and beans.
- Cook beans and beef until they are soft (this will take some time; add water as needed).
- While the other ingredients are cooking, you will have to make the little dumplings called spinners.
- Put flour in a large bowl and add a little water. Knead flour into dough, adding water as necessary, like you’re making bread.
- Pinch dough into small pieces, about 2” in diameter. Place pieces of dough into bowl and let sit for awhile.
- In the meantime, check on the beans in the pot to see if they are soft. If they are, reduce the fire to medium.
- With your palms facing each other, roll a piece of dough between them until the dough looks like a big piece of spaghetti.
- Then form the dough so that the middle is wide and the top and bottom are small. This is a spinner. The length of the spinner (dough) should be no more that 4” though. Repeat this process for all the pieces.
- Add all the spinners to the pot of stew and cover the pot. Let the spinners cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add scallions, thyme, black pepper, and cooking oil. Cook for 3 minutes then taste the stew.
- If it taste the way you like it…Mix a solution of flour and water to thicken the stew, then let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- This is usually served with white rice.

I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.
I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.
I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)
I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'.

I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)
