GREEN DUMPLINGS
Flour dumplings combined with chopped wilted beet tops. The dumplings are boiled chilled and then heated up with chopped bacon and onion that has been browned. This is a dish we had in the fall every year at the time beets are harvested. It's not an exact recipe as there never has been one and the dumpling texture will vary each time. This is a comfort food favorite of mine every fall. They can be as a side dish, or I like them as a meal.

- Chop bacon and onion into bite size pieces, brown, add dumplings to heat through and serve.
