Kumara Vegetable Casserole with Dumplings

Directions

Preparation:20min  ›  Cook:30min  ›  Ready in:50min 

1. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Dice the garlic and onion then fry in oil. Add swede, carrot, kumera and cauliflower (you might like to pre-boil the harder veggies a little). Cook for 2-3 minutes then add mushrooms, tomatos and broccoli.
3. Dissolve cornflour in water to form a bit of a paste then add stock and add to mix to the saucepan. Stir and simmer for a while, add oregano and then place into an oven-proof dish. Bake for 20 mins.
4. Meanwhile, sift flour into bowl, add butter and cheese and stir. Add oregano if you like in a separate bowl, beat egg and milk then add to dry ingredients to make a dough. Roll out and cut into small circles about 5cms across.
5. Take dish out of oven and place the little circles around the edges of the dish just crossing over a little. Increase temperature in oven to hot. Brush dough with milk and sprinkle extra cheese over the whole lot.
6. Cook for a further 10-15 minutes until dumplings have risen and turned golden brown.

Tip

Depending on how big you chop the hard veggies, they might take a little longer to cook.
