Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef stew meat or chicken, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 2 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup potatoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

Prepare the Meat

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the beef or chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides.

Add Vegetables and Broth

Stir in the diced tomato and cook for a few minutes until it starts to break down.

Pour in the beef or chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the Cornmeal Dumplings

In a bowl, mix the cornmeal with 1 cup of water to form a thick batter. You can add grated cheese to the batter if desired.

Season the batter with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Combine and Cook

Add the sliced carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot with the meat and broth.

Drop spoonfuls of the cornmeal batter into the simmering stew. The batter will cook and form dumplings.

Cover the pot and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Finish and Serve

Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.

Enjoy your meal!
