How to cook it

Heat the oil in a large pot and brown the mince, breaking it up, about 8 minutes.

-
Stir in the stock, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile rub the butter into the self-raising flour with a pinch of salt, then stir in the milk to form a soft dough and shape into eight small balls.

Drop the dumplings on top of the simmering mince, cover, and cook until the dumplings are puffed and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

When to cook it
Mince and Dumplings takes about 50 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at dinner. It is at its best in winter, which is when what goes into it is worth buying.
