Veggie Stew with Dumplings

 

Stew:

 

1 can lentils (don't drain the liquid) 15 oz

2 cans vegetable soup stock 15 oz each

1 leek (sliced and diced)

2 cloves garlic (crushed)

2 stalks of celery (chopped)

1 or 2 carrots (chopped)

1 small green pepper (chopped)

1 small red pepper (chopped)

12 - 15 mushrooms (chopped)

2 Tbs olive oil

1 Tbs of flour

Salt, pepper, basil, oregano, bay leaves, chili seeds

to

taste

 

Wash all the veggies and cut into quarters. Put the

oil

in a large pot and then add the chopped leek and

garlic.

Cook for about 5 minutes until the leek turns bright

green. Then add the flour and stir until the pieces of

leek are coated in flour. Add the 2 cans of vegetable

stock, and stir well. Then add the can of lentils and

the

chopped veggies. Add any other vegetables you like.

Add

the herbs and spices to your own preference. More

chili

seeds if you like it spicy! I added some juice from a

jar

of hot pickled banana peppers for extra kick. Simmer

(a

near boil) over low heat for about 1/2 an hour or so.

 

Dumplings:

 

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 Tbs olive or vegetable oil

3/4 cup Rice Milk or Soy Milk or Regular Milk

 

Mix the dry ingredients together with a fork. Stir in

the

Rice Dream and then the oil until you have a bowl full

of

gooey, sticky dough. It should be quite wet; if it

isn't,

add a bit more Rice Dream.

Turn up the heat on the soup until it is boiling

(probably around 3 or 4). Spoon the dumpling dough

into

the top of the soup in large chunks (around the size

of a

kiwi) and put the lid back on the pot. Leave for 10

minutes (don't open the pot, it's the steam from the

boiling soup that cooks the dumplings). After 10

minutes,

take off the lid and the gooey dough-balls have

magically

expanded and transformed into yummy, bread-y dumplings.

This looks great - any idea how much liquid to add if I cook up my own lentils?
