the LGF cook book needs a recipe for rooster

Quick chicken Gaza rooster and dumplings

1 rooster, shell fragments, pellets, etc. removed, plucked and cleaned
3-4 cans refrigerated biscuits. Do not use the “buttery” kind.
1 large onion
3-4 stalks of celery
3-5 large carrots
salt pepper
thyme
milk

Skin chicken if desired. Cut up and place in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until tender. Remove chicken parts and strain broth. Return broth to the pot. Debone and skin chicken and dice, reserving the meat in a separate bowl.

In a smaller pot, peel and dice carrots, dice onion and celery. Cover with water and cook until vegetables are tender.

Meanwhile, cut biscuits into quarters and reserve.

Strain the vegetable stock into the chicken stock and bring to a full boil. Reserve the vegetables.

Carefully drop cut biscuits into boiling broth. Do not attempt to cook too many at once. Allow to boil for 30 seconds or so. Scoop out of pot to add in additional biscuit quarters and repeat until done.

Once all the dumplings are cooked, add chicken meat, vegetables, and cooked dumplings back to the large pot and simmer. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and thyme. When soup is heated through, add milk to make the broth opaque.

Serves 4-6 Zionist honcos. Milk may be omitted if necessary.
