Steamed chicken dumplings
July 18th 2009 12:09
I am busily doing things in the new kitchen that I haven't done before, or haven't done for ages. Last night, for tea, we had steamed chicken dumplings. I suspect I threw away the steamer things when I cleared out the old kitchen, but I wanted to give these dumplings a try.
I had seen them in Vegas Poultry at the Central Market in Adelaide, and I've been wanting to give them a go. On Friday, I finally bought some and decided to have them for tea, along with our usual Central Market things - cheese sticks, bagels, cheese rolls and some with wood smoked country ham from Barossa Fine Foods.
When it was getting on the tea time I got out the wok and put water in it, set it to boiling, with a cake cooling thing in it to put the dumplings on. Once the water was boiling, I put the dumplings on the rack, and put the lid on and then set the timer for twenty minutes. I got the other bits and pieces organised and then we had a fine feast.
The dumplings were every bit as good as I though they'd be and wehn my husband got home from his trip to Melbourne last night, I heated his up for him too. A definite winner I think and we''ll have them again.
For tea tonight we had spinach and pinenut sausages, again from Vegas poultry - they're green and they are very tasty. These sausages up right up there as best sausages ever. They are probably equal tops with Bushmins Cheese and chives rabbit sausages. I love the farmed rabbits that Bushmins have - and they are only about twelve km from where I live. When you live in the country, it's great to find scrummy food so close.
WE had the sausages in wraps with mushrooms. cheese, lettuce and baby spinach and we all had a different sauce - BBQ sauce for son, plum sauce for husband and sweet chilli sauce for me. For dessert I think I'll have one of the chocolate and banana muffins I made on Thursday. I took some along to my new writing group and Tiff asked for the recipe. I said I'd try, but I'm creative with muffins, no batch is the same as any other batch. They're all yummy though!

I love the sausages I mentioned here, and I also love Bushmins cheese & chive rabbit sausages. Bushmins is a farmed rabbit business, and they are just a few kilometres from where I live. They have the yummiest schnitzels made from rabbit, and they do lots of other nice rabbit things.
These rabbits live a good, if restricted life, up until they are humanely killed. Beats getting chased and killed by foxes I suppose.
