POTATO & HAM DUMPLINGS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS (KLUBB)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add 1/2 cup of cubed ham. Let the ham boil (to flavor the water) while you make the klubb.
• To make the klubb: In a large mixing bowl, add the grated potatoes, egg and salt. Using a fork, mix well until thoroughly combined. Add 1 1/4 cups flour and mix well. Add up to ¼ cup more flour, a little at a time, until you get a thick, sticky dough that clumps together when pressed in your fist.
• Moisten your hands with water. Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop the potato mixture into your hand and press an indentation in the center. Place a piece of ham into the center and press the potato mixture around to enclose it. Roll into a loose ball and coat in the flour. Then roll into a nice round ball. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture. You'll get about 8 to 10 klubb in all.
• Gently drop the klubb in the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the klubb cook for 2 minutes to firm up, then loosen them with a spatula if they seem to be sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook the klubb for 35 to 45 minutes, until firm, shiny and floating at the top.
• When the klubb have about 15 minutes left on the timer, make the Brussels sprouts.
• When the klubb are done, drain and nestle directly into the Brussels sprouts, adding another drizzle of oil if the pan looks dry. Cook undisturbed for a couple more minutes to get some texture on the klubb. Add the butter, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and fully coat. Season with flaky salt and black pepper. Serve with hot sauce at the table, if desired.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 minutes until deeply golden. Give them a toss and add the remaining ham, the shallot, a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the Brussels sprouts start to get tender, 6 to 8 more minutes.

PAP'S HAM AND DUMPLINGS

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.

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

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.

MAMA'S HAM DUMPLINGS (ARVETTATITE) RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Put the bones into a large stock pot and pour the cold water over them. Turn on the heat as low as you can get it and bring the water slowly to the boiling point, carefully skimming off the scum as it pops to the surface. It will take about 45 minutes. 2. Add the onion, carrot, and peppercorns. Simmer slowly for at least 1 hour, 2 is better. Strain, discarding the solids, return the broth to the pot, bring it back to a boil, and reduce it to 1½ quarts (about half). 3. Make the dumplings according to the recipe. Drop them a few at a time into the simmering broth and let them simmer for 5 minutes. Add pepper, stir in the ham and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more. Ladle onto a serving platter. Raised Dumplings Serves 6 10 ounces (about 2 cups)all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons lard, shortening, or unsalted butter 1 cup whole milk buttermilk or regular milk with 1 teaspoon of vinegar added to make buttermilk. 1. Sift or whisk together the flour, soda, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Cut in the lard with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse corn meal. 2. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Using a wooden spoon and as few strokes as possible, quickly stir the ingredients together. 3. To shape flat dumplings (sometimes called "slipperies") like my grandmother's, turn the dough onto a lightly floured smooth work surface. Flour you hands and gently push it away from you to flatten. Fold it in half, gently press flat with the heel of your hand, and give it a quarter turn. Repeat this until just smooth, about 12 to 15 folds. Dust the work surface and the dough with more flour and roll it out to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Quickly cut into 1-inch strips, and then cut them into 2-inch lengths. Cook immediately. Turn off heat and cover. Let sit for 10 minutes to steam and finish cooking.
