- Cover and cook until meat falls off the bone (low setting on slow-cooker about 4-5 hours, or on the high setting in a slow cooker or in the Dutch oven at about 150°C it will take 3-4 hours)
- Make the dumplings by mixing the self-raising flour, melted butter, parsley and 2 tbsp of parmesan with enough milk to combine. Season with salt and pepper
- Tip mixture onto a floured surface and work into a ball. Divide dough into 12-18 pieces and roll each into a small ball.Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
