RUTABAGAS AND PORK 
1 medium rutabaga
4 whole pork chops
salt and pepper to taste

Peel and chop the rutabaga. Cover with water. Place pork chops on top and boil until the "bagas" and pork chops are real tender. Add Corn Meal Dumplings to thicken the soup.

Corn Meal Dumpling:

1/2 c. boiling water
scoop of corn meal
scoop of flour
a little bit of sugar

Mix well; mixture should be thick, not runny. Set aside for 20 minutes. Put a spoonful of mixture in the palm of your hand and form a cake. Continue until all dumplings are formed. Place along side of the pot or on top of the soup. If placed on top of the soup, you must turn dumplings over while cooking. Cook for about 10 minutes.

 Phyllis (Virginia) says:
I used pork neck bones instead of pork chops. Cook neck bones 45 minutes - then added peeled/chopped rutabaga.

As water cooked down... added beef broth as replacement. Was outstanding!

Did not see this recipe in time to prepare the dumplings.. will however, copy this and prepare next time. Will be preparing this recipe - as written shortly. The broth is excellent - so know the dumplings will be rich & full of flavor. Thanks for submitting!
