Shearers' Stew with dumplings
Why I Love This Recipe
This is a perfect Comfort meal for winter, and it has all the vegetables in one dish. I have made this often and is very popular by all. It has a real Australian Name to it. A Little bit of knowledge the word "Jumbuck" is the name they called sheep in the earlier Australian days.
The main meat used in this dish is lamb, but beef can also be used.
