For a richer flavor, brown the pork ribs in the Dutch oven before adding the onions. Experiment with different root vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or sweet potatoes for a unique twist. The sage cornmeal dumplings can also be enjoyed in other hearty stews or soups. Ensure the dumplings are cooked through by testing with a toothpick – it should come out clean.
