The wonderful fresh tomato taste of the sauce complements these light savory dumplings. They make a perfect side dish for a meal with beef. My family enjoys them very much. Ingredients:

1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper |
1/4 cup finely chopped celery |
1/4 cup butter |
1 bay leaf |
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
dumplings |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon cold butter |
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley |
2/3 cup milk |
Directions:
1. In large skillet, saute onion, green pepper and celery in butter until tender. Add bay leaf, tomatoes, brown sugar, basil, salt and pepper; cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, for dumplings, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter. Add parsley and milk; stir just until mixed.
