Curried Root Vegetable Stew With Dumplings Recipes

CURRIED ROOT VEGETABLE STEW WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• To make the stew, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and curry powder and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the broth, carrots and parsnips. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the celery root and sweet potato and cook for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, to make the dumplings, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and mace in a bowl. Rub in the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in the currants. Stir in the milk, just to combine. On a lightly floured surface, with floured hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
• Form a smooth paste by stirring 1/4 cup of the simmering broth into 3 tablespoons of flour, then stir it into the stew. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the dumplings on top of the simmering stew, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Divide the stew and dumplings among 4 bowls. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
