Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place a large pot over medium heat to preheat while preparing vegetables.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, plant-based milk, and olive oil. Stir until just combined and set aside.
- Add olive oil to the heated pot, then sauté onion and garlic until fragrant. Add carrots, celery, and potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth, then add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough on top of the simmering stew. Cover and steam for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Uncover and gently stir in peas and parsley. Let sit for 2–3 minutes uncovered.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overmix dumpling dough for best texture.
- Add peas at the end to preserve their bright color.
- Let stew sit a few minutes before serving for fuller flavor.
- To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
