Newfoundland Pudding Bag Recipes

NEWFOUNDLAND BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• - Mix all ingredients together with enough warm water to form a ball that holds everything together. Put in a pudding bag or pudding tin with lid and boil for 30 minutes with the jigg's dinner or on its own. If you are going to boil/steam your pudding on its own fill the boiler up 1/4 of the way with water, then put a foil bowl or rack in the bottom of boiler to place your pudding bag or pudding tin on. If you are using the liquor/ broth from the jiggs dinner for gravy it must be taken out before the bread pudding goes in, as it will give a sweet taste to the gravy. Put it in the boiler the same time as your potatoes as they cook about the same. If you use the pudding bag remove from the boiler and from the bag so it don't become to soggy. Cut in slices and serve with meal. This Newfoundland Bread Pudding is like stuffing but the shape of a pudding, smells and tastes amazing and can be served with Jiggs Dinner, with or without gravy.

NEWFOUNDLAND JIGG'S DINNER

Steps:

• Cover the corned beef with cold water and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
• Drain the beef and place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with fresh water. Place the yellow peas in a triple layer of cheesecloth and tie securely. Place the bag inside the Dutch oven with the beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, add the chopped cabbage, turnip, and carrots to the pot. Simmer for 25 minutes.
• Add the chopped potatoes and simmer an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are fork tender.
• While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dumpling dough as follows: Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl, then add the water a little bit at a time to make a pasty dough. You may not need to add all of the water. Divide the dough into 6 balls. Be careful not to over-handle the dough.
• During the last 5 to 10 minutes of simmering the vegetables, place the dough balls on top of the vegetables and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam in the pot for 7 minutes.
• When the dumplings are cooked through, remove all ingredients from the pot and arrange on a warm serving platter. Remove the cooked peas from the cheesecloth bag and mash with the butter and black pepper. Serve alongside the beef and vegetables.
