Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 large carrots, sliced
3-4 celery sticks, sliced
500 g potatoes, medium, cut up
14 oz can plum tomatoes
750 ml vegetable stock
1 Tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp paprika
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
salt, pepper
DUMPLINGS
50 g butter
125 g flour
1 tsp baking powder, heaped
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a large pot and fry the onion until soft. Add the carrots, celery and potato. Let sweat over a gentle heat for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to the boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the herb, salt and pepper and mix with the egg, adding enough water to form a sticky dough.
  • 3. Using a wet spoon drop tablespoons of the dough on top of the simmering stew. Place the cover on the pot and leave for about 10 minutes.Remove a dumpling, if when you cut into it its fluffy and "bready", it's done!! Remove them all at the one time, just like bread, they'll get soggy if you leave them too long.
