California Farm Beef Liver Broth Cubes and Dumplings

Beef liver broth deepens the beef flavor in soups and sauces. A small amount of beef liver broth, the size of an ice cube, is enough to add a rich beefy flavor to a cup of soup.
By concentrating beef liver broth with these herbs and spices, and freezing it in cubes, you will have your own condiment ready anytime in the form of frozen cubes.
I tested the broth four ways: without herbs or spices, with onion, with onion and garlic and spices, and with onion, garlic and spices and soy sauce. Here is the winning recipe.
After the flavor has been extracted, the simmered beef liver and Canadian bacon are mixed with breadcrumbs and herbs to make great liver dumplings for salads, sandwiches and other dishes.

Dumpling soup in miso broth Dumpling soup in miso broth
This dish was inspired by a Bon Appetit vid I watched recently where Zaynab Issa made a 5-ingredient soup featuring store bought dumplings. I've always steamed or fried my dumplings (known in our house as pot stickers), so this came as a revelation. I immediately turned to my Asian food guru-of-the-moment (a.k.a. Marion Grasby) to see if she's made one, and it turned out she has. And so, armed with these two sources, I cobbled up my own pot of soup using techniques from each. The result was warm, soothing, light yet satisfying, and totally wonderful on a cold January night. Robert Gonzal -

California Farm No Salt Vegetable Broth California Farm No Salt Vegetable Broth
We grow a type of celery that has a strong beef flavor, grandpa brought it over from Russia, kept the roots wet in his hankerchief in his pocket. It is a salt substitute. You can grow it indoors in a planter pot, it is called lovage. We harvest it year round, but when lovage bolts, we cut the stalks and make a supply of vegetable broth concentrate with lovage, meat flavored mushrooms, celery, water cress, radishes, winter carrots, fermented beets and celeriac, mace, brewers yeast, onion, summer savory, parsley and tomatoes. No salt, no monosodium glutamate. We freeze this concentrate in ice cube trays and use two cubes per quart of water to make vegetable soup. Hobby Horseman -

Chicken Liver Dumplings Chicken Liver Dumplings
I learned how to make these chicken liver dumplings at the next door home of my "second mother", Pat, when I was about 13 years old. They have been a favorite of mine ever since! Don’t let the fact that they are made from liver deter you from trying these dumplings. The taste is very mild, but very rich. These dumplings go well with my Farm-Style Polish Chicken Soup--the recipe is here on Cookpad. Adam Janowski -
