\nServers: 4-6
\nCalories: 392<\/p>\n
2-3 tablespoons of Vegetable oil ( I used coconut oil)
\n1 Large chopped onion.
\n5-6 Root vegetables (bite size chunks)
\n2 Leeks, halved, washed and sliced.
\n3 Potatoes\u00a0(bite size chunks)
\n1 tablespoon of Plain white flour. (or 2)
\n1.2 litres of Veg stock. (I used 2 litres)
\n1 tablespoon of Tomato pur\u00e9e (or 2)
\n0.25 teaspoon of Celery seeds.<\/p>\n
25g of Soya margarine. (I used melted Coconut oil)
\n175g of Self raising flour.
\n1 teaspoon of Mixed Herbs
\n1 tablespoon of Vegetable oil (if using margarine)
\nA few grinds of Salt and Pepper.
\n8 tablespoons of Water<\/p>\n
If you're using margarine, rub it into the flour. Add the herbs, Salt and Pepper to the flour and mix well. \u00a0Mix the oil and water together and slowly add to the flour to form a soft dough.<\/p>\n
Heat a little of the oil in a pan, and fry the onion quickly until golden brown. \u00a0Transfer to an ovenproof casserole dish. \u00a0 Adding a little more oil as necessary, brown the vegetables in batches transfer to the casserole dish. \u00a0Add a little more oil to the pan, stir in the flour and cook over a steady heat, stirring until the flour is browned. \u00a0Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, stirring until the stock has thickened. \u00a0Add the tomato pur\u00e9e, celery seeds, salt and pepper, then pour over the vegetables. \u00a0Cover the casserole and cook in a preheated over for 50 minutes. \u00a0Meanwhile, make the dumplings.
\nWhen the casserole has cooked 50 minutes, remove the lid and add the dumplins. \u00a0Replace the lid and put back into the oven for a further 20-30 minutes. \u00a0The dumplings will rise to the top and swell to double their size.<\/p>\n
