Pork Rib Stew with Sage Cornmeal Dumplings
I have been making this stew for more than 20 years. It’s a dish I use to celebrate the harvest season. Experiment with different root vegetables, and use the dumplings in other hearty stews or soups. They are so yummy!
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
Arrange pork pieces one layer deep in a large baking pan.
Broil stirring often until meat is browned about 10 minutes.
Pour off and discard the fat.
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat.
Stir in onions; cook and stir until the onions have softened and turned translucent about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook stirring frequently until the garlic is fragrant but not brown 2 minutes more.
