How To Make Vegetable Stew and Dumplings Recipe

So week one of the three month food & drink challenge has flown by. Rachael has written a new food & drink blog post, well worth a read. For my girlfriend and I, it has been a tough week…that is work wise we’ve been snowed and I fell ill (i’m better now). At times we’ve wanted a mug of tea with a biscuit or two, but have resisted and continue we will.

We’ve eaten British, Indian and Italian food during the last week. Right now though I want to tell you about the lovely homemade vegetable stew and dumplings my wonderful girlfriend made the other day.

What you need

– Vegetable stew bag
– Stock (brand we used is Knorr Vegetable Stock granules)
– Cornflower
– Shredded Vegetable Suet (brand we used is Atora light)
– and other bits and pieces

How to make it

Peel and chop the vegetables into chunks and chuck into a casserole dish. Using the stock and cornflower mix to the desired thickness and quantity you want. We did enough for four people (that is with a generous portion of mash potatoes accompanying) and it took forty-five minutes on gas mark 5.

On our suet box my girlfriend found a dumpling recipe. So if you buy the ‘Atora light’ it should be there, else a quick google should help you out. After the stew has been cooking for forty-five minutes she removed it from the oven. She then added the dumplings and cooked for another fifteen to twenty minutes.

  2. It was a lovely stew and the secret I think is the stock. That particular brand gives it the oomph that is required.

    I love soups also and will be making lots during autumn, winter and sping. Homemade soup is in a league of its own compared to canned.

    Thanks for the best wishes for the challenge.

    All the best

  3. Hi Tracey,

    It was a fantastic meal. Plus we had enough to freeze a second portion, which was lovely a week later.

    Cheers for leaving the comment.
