At 4:07, he swept the suet into his hand and then transferred it to the bowl. He then used the tea towel to brush the leftover suet onto the floor, which means he is now trampling suet into the floor. Why would anyone do this? Bring the bowl up to the chopping board and brush the suet directly into the bowl.
I prefer to make mine with Ale, I also use balsamic and Worcester sauce when I fry the beef, I use bay leaves and mixed herbs, not thyme. I highly recommend doing the dumplings in the oven with the lid off for 30-40 minutes. Crispy dumplings are no much better.
@BellaMc crispy dumplings must be a well keep secret as you don't see this in any recipe I have seen online or in books. This is how my grandma did it and it's how I do it, no comparison.
@@Buzzj4k LOL, you need to learn to read m8. I have literally said above how to make them, so all you have done is repeat what I said. Been doing it for over 30 years.
I believe studies have shown 'oil's' cause cholesterol,heart conditions and obesity while natural animal fats, dripping etc does none of the mentioned that 'oils' do.
Hate olive oil, my mum used to rub it in my hair ( before hair conditioner) to get the tangles out, it was ‘medicinal ‘ in those days, bought it in the chemist.
Interesting how they all say cornflower and brown the beef,of course that's obvious,but I just throw everything in.Onions with the skin,as well as carrots,garlic,potatoes,half vegetable stock and red wine,4 lemons cut in half,mix pepper,bay leaves,quarter cup of tomato and black source and slow cook for 6 hrs,and I'll tell you it's to die for.
Looks good. Some good ideas. They don't include putting your finger over the olive oil bottle opening after touching the beef. If tomorrow he makes a salad dressing with that oil it might not be ideal.
Gordon Ramsay says in his video that you don't need a good expensive wine when cooking a stew or casserole. I'm so confused, who is right? Martin or Ramsay?
+kevin heming If you're a clean person, it doens't matter. blind people cook with their hands full stop. Take a gander to Birmingham, there's a restaurant there ran completely by blind waiters and chefs. If you're clean, you're good. Besides, there's more crap in the beef or lamb than on his nose :)
Don't get me wrong, I totally understand where you're coming from, and generally I agree. But this is where alcohol rub and latex gloves comes in handy.
+kevin heming Even in classy restaurant kitchens (me, years back) it's hot work and _loads_ of perspiration drips into food. There's the whole hand-washing thing too. And how will you know if your cooked steak slipped onto a kitchen floor before it came out to you? A chef flipping an itchy nose is the very least of your worries! ;0)
I was thinking the same !! Stuck his fingers straight in the butter after just mauling raw meat! And the raw meat will be all over the olive oil bottle as well xx
Too many cooks faffing around with this recipe , its traditionally made with mince not £20 a lb chuck steak, its a poor man's meal, get a grip, and btw, Lancashire hotpot, isn't lamb, shakes head and walks away !!!!!
Frying the beef - one minute he's saying do it and the next he says it's only for colour ! Reasons for my thumbs down: 1. I gave pre-frying meat - it makes a splattery mess and I can't tell the difference in taste - and who the F gives a damn what colour it is ? 2. Doesn't say what temperature the cooker's set to. 3. Dunno about you but I have reasonable sized pans and a hob that I could do this on - oh, and I have roasting tins an a a few ovens I could do this in - so yeah, I could do 6 slow-cooked dishes without the aid of a slow cooker. Alternatively, I could turn the heat up and do 2 stews in an hour in the pressure cookers. Yeah, have actually done this as one of my cousins is a veggie - so she had stewed Stella McCartney's fingers. I don't drown stews. Start with a splash of water to wet the bottom of the pan and all the other juice comes out of the veggies. Don't forget the OXO cube. The Oxo cube is the only strange thing in my stews - pure meat and pure veg. Sometimes I'll add a little salt to the dumplings. If you're gonna hide the true flavours with a load of herbs, you might as well make a bloody curry.
I learnt his parsley stew dumplings a decade or so ago and i’ve never looked back, absolutely delicious.
Thank you I've found someone
Who can make straight forward old
Fashioned dumplings!!
Buy a pack of Atora suet (either veggie or real) Dumpling recipe is on the packet.
Hello superb fan ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent video on herb suggestions and differences with Irish and British stew thanx
He is a very talented chef. I love James martin😊👍
Hello superb fan ❤️❤️❤️
i bought one of his cooking knives and it wasnt very good at all. A rubbish knife and it wasnt cheep either

Very informative dumpling recipe, “ some flour, some suet “. 😂
Thank you so much for your recipe . Looks delicious sweet an simple 👏👏👏
Mine's simpler than that - and has a wider range of veg in it.
Thank you I have been searching for this video all day
Always a fan of yours James But used to love watching you and your Dad Brain Turner
I like it with out the wine, garlic.
For the dumplings I use beef suet for beef Casserole and vegetable suet for the vegetable casserole.
Where can you get vegetable suet?
@@Soshin39 purchase the green Atora Suet suitable for vegetarians and Vegans.
Nice one James 😊
So savory and so delicious! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
i own a 6.5 litre monster of a slow cooker they are an awesome bit of kitchen kit
agreed, they do all the work for you.
I don't own a slow cooker but I have 4 hot plates and 3 ovens - so I could do 12 slow-cooked meals at a time.
I'm waiting to take delivery of mine, my other was only about 2.8L
Amazi g no steam off the slow cooker at all when taking lid off
I used the cooking pot that bears your name. Much more versatile than the slow cooker in my opinion.
I am as kids (grown up now) want old fashioned dumplings like I used to make
What about the potatoes?
Oil, I use water for browning. No problem. It's midnight and all I can think of is beef stew.
Yum yum.
Hello superb fan ❤️❤️❤️
How are u supposed to put it in and go work if it only takes 5 hours and 20 minutes
Get a proper one with a delay timer built in ;)
because the slow cooker should switch to warming after the timer is up.
Put it on 'lo'.

Saw the sneeky addition of butter .. you didn't mention it, does this aid browning?
It's James Martin, I suspect he puts butter in his coffee 🤣
Why is a shaving company uploading this 😂
Ummm. The beef doesn't look particularly brown at all....?
Yes please
Great video, although the audio seems to have an echo.
+Daniel Boa He's in a large kitchen full of hard acoustically reflective surfaces... It will have echo. You can't really put a lavalier mic on a chef.
Can’t see the measurements for the dumplings ? :/
Of course! Also flavour, a must when browning meat.
Could I use butter to replace the suet?
Yup, taste is different, but just as good
Surely flour and dumplings are not part of wahls - avoiding grains etc?
Good advertisement though for Wahl's isn't it.
Do they sell SUET in stores?
Yeah. For example in the UK its sold as a product named "ATORA". It's essentially beef fat and flour.
Hello superb fan ❤️❤️❤️
bully beef ?
Just trying to make some dumplings youres look delicious james🫠

Good 🍷 wine, your going to cook and drink, right!? Jus’ sayin’
@@pollyanna6557 this was over 4yrs ago.. now use a good wine for everything 👍🏼

as he implies, once youve had coloured meat theres no retreat

I made a beef stew just out of the fat and gristle... It's so chewy!
Not gonna deglaze that frying pan?
What for ?
If there are bits still in the frying pan, you can reglaze with the wine or stock.
I suggest that he watches John Kirkwood for a real beef stew!!this isent a stew I would make!!
I agree John Kirkwood’s is better. Plus here he doesn’t give quantities only a little bit of this or that.
Hello superb fan ❤️❤️❤️
Who is here in 2023 ?
No garlic in stew .
Typical bloke sweeping the crumbs off and onto the floor. Never known anyone to cook with long sleeved shirt on.
not very traditional is it.My mum didnt use herbs or garlic disgusting
Hello superb fan ❤️❤️❤️
Very professional of him to wipe his nose with his hand (4:40) and continue cooking.

You'll be telling me next people actually spat, or worse, into the food.But of course that wouldn't happen would it?
Get over the lamb already!
Thank God he doesn't cook with ketchup like some of these so called "chefs" do mentioning no names😑🤨
To much cross contamination for me
I was thinking the same !! Stuck his fingers straight in the butter after just mauling raw meat! And the raw meat will be all over the olive oil bottle as well xx
A “pro” chef telling us the beef SEARING is purely for colour lol, dear dear
Missing steps or what
His dumpling mixture looks way too sloppy
Why does he keep wiping his nose ?
Maybe that's showbiz sherbet you can see on his nose, and not flour. If he isn't careful Gordon Ramsay will out him, in his latest witchhunt.
On Cocaine... snorting too much flour.
Because working families have the ball-ache time to fanny around with this, right?
Watch john Kirkwood his is loads better
Sad. Just awfully sad. With the set, the lack of effort, the shilling, and the sound, it's honestly liminal. Shocking.
To be honest that looked thin and horrible the dumplings didn’t look cooked
