Vegan stew with dumplings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 400g mushrooms, sliced
- 300g vegan steak strips (we used Quorn) or chicken-style vegan pieces
- 1 bunch broccolini, chopped into 5cm lengths
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 5 tablespoons reduced-salt vegan gravy granules mixed with 2 cups boiling water
- fresh parsley, chopped, to garnish
- For the dumplings
- 1¼ cups wholemeal self-raising flour
- ½ teaspoon mixed dried herbs
- ¼ cup reduced-fat spread (check it's dairy-free)
- ½ cup skim milk
Instructions
1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 min or until golden. Add the Quorn or vegan meat alternative and cook for 3–4 min. Stir in the broccoli, mustard and gravy, then bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally.
2 Meanwhile, make the dumplings. Put the flour and dried herbs in a bowl. Rub the spread into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the milk to form a firm but sticky dough, then turn the dough out on to a floured worksurface. Roll the dough into 8 even dumplings, then put on top of the stew.
3 Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over a low heat, allowing the dumplings to steam, for 12–15 min. Serve garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
Serving suggestion
Serve the stew with your favourite steamed veg on the side.
