    Tonight's meal is ratatouille and dumplings. I'm making 12 servings and freezing away doubles for the up coming new term. (When I'm too exhausted at the end of the day to think of a menu let alone prepare it.)
    All this talk of dumplings is going to my thighs.

    Funny that when you talk about salad you don't lose weight though! ;)

    I reckon, that if you eat a pound of chocolate, you could only put on a pound, right?

    Right?

    Does anyone have a foolproof way for cooking these? I've made them twice now and they always wrong in cooking. The first time I boiled them and they were all soggy on the outside, so this time I steamed them, but bf got so bored of waiting for them, he chucked them in the boiling water and hence they went soggy again.

    I usually just cook mine in the casserole, but I read you can also microwave them

    May I jump on this thread and ask if anyone has a recipe of Hungarian dumplings too? They are small, a bit like gnocchi in size, and are lovely.

    Sorry Op, i don;t have any dumpling recipe myself but will ask my mum if you don't get any replies cos hers are gorgeous. She cooks them in a stew though, not on their own.

    I also add mine to the stew for the last twenty minutes of cooking time. I make them up acording to the recipe on the Atora packet, drop them in the stew, turn them over so they get coated all over, put the lid back on the casserole, and leave them to it. They absorb all the gravy goodnes and go crispy on the top.

    Not sure if that helps?
