  • 2 oz Margarine
  • 2 Tbs Wholewheat flour
  • 1 Onion; chopped
  • 1/2 pint Vegetable stock
  • 2 Garlic cloves; crushed
  • 1 Tbs Soy sauce
  • 1 lb Leeks; trimmed, washed well & sliced
  • 1 Tbs Tomato paste
  • 1 lb Chopped tomatoes
  • 1 Carrot; diced
  • Salt & pepper; to taste
  • 8 oz Mushrooms; wiped & sliced

  • 3 fl oz Water (or milk if preferred) OR- less, as needed
  • 1 oz Margarine
Directions:
  1. Drain the beans & cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil & simmer till tender, about 35 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid.
  2. Heat margarine in a large pot. Add the onion & cook until transparent. Add the garlic, leeks, carrot & mushrooms & cook gently for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika, pepper & flour. Add stock, soy sauce, tomato paste, tomatoes & salt & pepper. Bring to a boil, cover & simmer gently for 10 minutes. Stir in the beans & bring back to a boil.
  3. Add the dumplings. Cover with a tight fitting lid & simmer for 20-25 minutes very gently to prevent burning. Sprinkle generously with parsley before serving.
  4. FOR DUMPLINGS: Put the flour & salt into a bowl. Rub in margarine till it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in parsley. Add just enough liquid to make a firm dough. Divide into 8 pieces & shape into dumplings.
  5. Serves 4 to 6.
