The perfect combination of lovely chunky spring vegetables in tomato sauce with comforting fluffy steamed dumplings.
I remember eating stew with dumplings as a little girl and the whole process of adding the little balls of dough seemed both weird and magical to me.
I used to peek under the lid of my mum’s huge heavy lidded casserole dish and see them swelling and bubbling away in the juices – amazing.
My version is much lighter and fresher, but no less tasty.
I hope you love this. Let me know what you think…
