This delicious Mushroom Stew Recipe is hearty and comforting as well as super-nutritious. Our Shiitake Mushroom Powder really brings out the "meatiness" of the mushrooms, and the use of our Organic Chia Seed Protein Powder to make the dumplings is inspired!
Equipment
- Cooking Pot
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
For the stew
- 1 Tbsp Oil for Frying
- 300g Mushrooms (your favourite type)
- 1 Onion - chopped
- 2 - 3 Medium Carrots - chopped
- Handful of Spinach
- 1 Heaped Tbsp Flour
- 750 ml Vegetable Stock
- 1 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
- Salt, Pepper, Herbs - flavour as you wish
For the dumplings
- 50g Vegetable Suet
- 85g Self Raising Flour
- Approx 5 Tbsps Cold Water
- Salt, Pepper, Herbs - flavour as you wish
Method
- Start by lightly frying the onion in the oil until slightly browned. Then add the mushrooms and fry lightly too.
- Add the Shiitake Mushroom Powder and flour to the pan and mix in with the onions and mushrooms, don't worry if it looks claggy, it's supposed to!
- Gradually add the veg stock a little at a time, stirring as you go to prevent lumps. Once you've added all the stock bring it to a gentle boil, then add the soy sauce and chopped up carrots.
- To make the dumplings, add the dry ingredients to a bowl and then gradually add the water a tablespoon at a time. You should end up with a nice, soft dough that isn't too wet.
- Form the dough into 8 dumplings and add to the stew pan. Drop the heat down, cover with a lid and simmer gently for about 20 minutes.
- While you're waiting you could always whip together a side, I love roasted broccoli!
- Once you've simmered the stew for 20 minutes add in the spinach and wilt down.
- Serve and ENJOY!
