Lamb Stew

from leg or breast, cut into cubes
Well-seasoned flour
vegetable oil
Lamb bones, reserved from leg or breast
1 cup celery, chopped
1 onion, peeled, chopped
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs parsley, chopped
10 to 12 bruised peppercorns
Salt, to taste
Water
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth (optional _
3 or 4 carrots, scraped, cut into large pieces
3 large stalks celery
2 large onions, peeled, cut in large pieces

Parsley Dumplings
Trim all fat from lamb; dredge in seasoned flour. Brown in hot
vegetable oil in skillet on all sides. Set aside browned lamb.
Meanwhile, simmer bones with chopped celery, onion, bay leaf, parsley,
peppercorns, salt to taste and water to cover. Cover, simmer (do not
boil) 3 to 4 hours, until stock is well flavored.
Strain stock; discard vegetables and bones. Add strained stock, a
little at a time, to hot lamb. Loosen cooked flour mixture, stirring
with wooden spoon. Add enough chicken stock if necessary, to make a
very light gravy. Add remaining ingredients except peas and dumpling
mixture. Cover simmer (do not boil) until vegetables are almost
tender. Add peas and dumpling mixture. Cook until dumplings are done,
about 12 minutes. Serve piping hot!
