Food Doesn't Come More Comforting Than Stew & Dumplings
If there is food like this on the table, who cares what the weather is like outside? Often stodgy, heavy and super high in calories, our dumplings are light, yet filling and incredibly low in calories and carbs! Trust us - two dumplings with your stew will be plenty!
They take mere moments to throw together and just need cooking for the last 20-30 minutes of stewing time - give them a go. Knowing we were serving this with a lamb stew, we decided to make them with rosemary and mint - two of lambs best friends!
Remember, being suet-free these dumplings would also be great for vegetarian stews and broths as well.
Recipe makes four dumplings (two per portion).
