7 cups water or vegetable stock 6 Tbsp corn meal 3 Tbsp oil 1 ½ tsp salt ¾ tsp pepper ¾ tsp basil ½ tsp thyme 1 ¼ pound potatoes, diced 5 carrots, chopped 3 celery sticks, chopped 1 ½ medium onions, chopped 1 ½ cup peas 1 ½ cup corn 3 cups beans, precooked

Whisk the corn meal into the water/vegetable stock. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Let it simmer, but not boil.

Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is like coarse crumbs. Beat in milk and egg whites. Drop dough in spoonfuls into the stew. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Cover and cook for 10 more minutes until dumplings are done.

Have corn on the cob that is still inside the husk. Put it in the oven, straight on the oven rack, and cook for 30 minutes.

It comes out very sweet, tender and flavorful, a different taste than when the corn is boiled. Leaving the husk on while it's roasting traps in the moisture.
