I’m looking for the least physical up time (physical disability greatly limits how long I can hold posture). I don’t do dairy and I do not want to use a bunch of oil.
The last time I made chicken, I made a bed and stock using beer, apples, onion, potatoes, sweet potato, cumin, cinnamon, and brown sugar. The apples and potatoes were EOL and had to get used for something. This turned out fantastic. I use the chicken and onions for something else and this left me with the stock, all the chicken fat, and the rest. I mashed this and blended it all. It tastes absolutely fantastic like a very sweet and unique pastry filling.
I could easily add some chicken bits and make a dumpling or use the mix in a light and airy filled pastry. What I have not done in over, gosh probably two decades is make any kind of dough or bread.
This could turn into one of the things I play with and tune for years but I need a good low effort cheap entry point for a simple dough and way to cook it that doesn’t tax my back hard at all and without any diary.
I like abstracting and understanding what I’m doing on a fundamental level. Pointing me at cultural traditions that fit my constraints is best. With me, there is no such thing as too much detail if you feel like sharing. TIA
No such thing for dumplings.
