THREE SISTERS SOUP WITH RED BEAN AND CORN DUMPLINGS



Three Sisters Soup With Red Bean and Corn Dumplings image

A Native American Recipe from Organic Gardening Magazine from the 80's. As it appears here it is a great lacto ovo vegitarian dish. If this is not an issue feel free to add some chopped ham to the soup or to replace the oil with bacon drippings. The Three Sisters are Maize (corn), Beans and Squash. They were often grown together in the same field. The beans used the cornstalks for support and fixed nitrogen in the soil which the corn needed. The large leaves of the squash shaded the roots of the corn and beans and helped to conserve the water in the soil. They were often cooked and eaten together. The corn completes the incomplete protein of the beans and the squash added beta carotines.

HAM AND BEANS



Ham and Beans image

My Mom created this recipe and I really enjoyed it as a child. As an adult, my taste changed just a bit so I modified her recipe to 'kick it up' a bit. It is fabulous even though the ingredients list is quite short! This is a must make with leftover ham and everyone agrees it's absolutely delicious.

GRANDMOTHER NELLY'S "HAM, PEAS AND DUMPLINGS (OLD RECIPE)



Grandmother Nelly's

This is an old heirloom family recipe that has been in my family for 8 generations and it has always been a family favorite as I was growing up. I have never seen another recipe like it and I want to publish this before it gets lost to posterity. The dough recipe is unique, but maybe not too unlike some French dough recipes I've seen. Yet this is something I have seen nobody else publish. It seems to be an ancient recipe and I don't want it to get lost. So here it is. Beware: the dumplings are heavy, but that is part of what I like about this dish.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 dumplings, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup water
1 cup flour (slightly heaping)
3 ounces margarine
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 (12 ounce) packages frozen peas
2 tablespoons margarine
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups water (or to cover)
2 (8 ounce) jars plum jelly or 2 (8 ounce) jars currant jelly
2 teaspoons mustard
4 tablespoons white vinegar
sliced pre-baked ham (served as part of final dish)

Steps:

  • Dough.
  • Bring water and margarine to boil in 2 qt sauce pan. Add one slightly heaping cup of flour, salt, pepper, nutmeg all at once. Stir vigorously in the pan until mixture no longer adheres to the bottom or sides of the pan. Let dough cool to luke warm. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time until the dough absorbs the egg and is no longer glossy. Do this with each egg.
  • PLEASE NOTE: you can possibly eliminate the back breaking nature of incorporating each of the eggs into the luke warm dough ball which would be the case if you do this all by hand. The process of incorporating the egg into the dough is very labor intesnsive since it takes a lot to beat until the egg(s) no longer make the dough glossy after beaten in long enough. So, you can take a shortcut by using the dough blade in your food processor and putting the WARM dough (do while dough ball from pan is still luke warm but not hot), place dough ball into the processor bowl and using your dough blade beat each egg into the dough in your food processor until the dough loses its glossiness from the egg. But if you don't have a food processor you can do the egg incorporation by hand, however it is pretty labor intensive.
  • Once the eggs are beaten into the dough, you now have completed the dumpling dough for this recipe.
  • Preparing the Dumplings and Peas.
  • Place 2 standard 12oz pkgs frozen peas into a large skillet and add WATER just to cover. Add the ¼ teaspoon of salt and the sugar and a two tablespoons of margarine. Bring peas to a simmer. Place one tablespoon of dough for each dumpling over the already simmering peas. Cover the peas and dumplings closely and keep covered while dumplings are rising).
  • Keep on simmer low enough so mixture boils only lightly, not hard and rapidly. Simmer all, covered, for 12 to 14 minutes.
  • To serve: Plate the peas and dumplings for each person, accompanied by generous slices of just baked ham. Each person can garnish with jelly sauce (below) to taste.
  • SWEET/SOUR JELLY SAUCE FOR HAM.
  • (Jelly sauce garnish that goes over the sliced, baked ham which accompanies this dish).
  • INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE SAUCE:.
  • Mix together either currant or plum jelly, vinegar and mustard into sauce pan and blend over low heat until jelly melts. Blend and adjust ingredients to taste and keep warm until served.
  • Serve on table in a gravy bowl or similar serving container and each can spoon it over their baked Ham slices.
  • Garnish portions of sliced (already baked) ham and the peas and dumplings with the sweet/sour jelly sauce (to taste).
  • Enjoy.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely sliced chives
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
8 ounces ham steak, diced
1 head white or green cabbage, sliced
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
One 12-ounce bottle wheat beer
1 1/2 cups turkey stock
1 cup sauerkraut
1/2 bunch parsley, roughly chopped or torn
4 tablespoons hot mustard

Steps:

  • For the dumplings: Whisk together the eggs and milk in a large bowl. Mix in the flour, chives and nutmeg. Set aside to rest until ready to use.
  • For the ham, cabbage and sauerkraut: Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and ham steak and cook until the onions begin to sweat, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the cabbage with the coriander, red pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt and cook until the cabbage begins to melt and break down, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beer, turkey stock and sauerkraut, bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Spread the dumpling batter in a line down the back of a sheet tray or small cutting board. Dip a bench scraper in the boiling water, then use it to "cut" the dumplings into the pot, dipping the bench scraper in the boiling water in between each cut. Cook the dumplings until they begin to float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the dumplings to the Dutch oven with the cabbage. Mix in the parsley and mustard and any additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve.
