Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground beef — Make sure to use lean ground beef for a healthier option. You can also substitute it with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter alternative.
- Dried thyme and rosemary — If you prefer fresh herbs, you can substitute them with an equal amount of fresh thyme and rosemary. Just finely chop the fresh herbs before adding them to the filling.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat filling.
- Serve the Stuffed Dumplings with a dollop of sour cream or a side of tangy English mustard for an extra kick of flavor.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can replace the meat filling with a mixture of sautéed mushrooms, onions, and herbs.
Serving advice
