My favorite stew!

Servings: 6 to 8

Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 celeriac or turnip, diced
- 2 large carrots sliced
- 1 sweet potato, cubed
- 2 potatoes, cubed
(you can substitute sweet potatoes and potatoes with a butternut squash)
- 6 cups water
- 8 tablespoons whole wheat flour or rice flour
- 1 teaspoon basil
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- 4 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon umeboshi paste (salted plums)
- 30 to 35 buckwheat dumplings
OR
16 vegetarian dumplings and 540 ml of lentils, rinsed and drained

Preparation:

1. Sauté onion in oil until transparent. Add garlic and stir one minute.

2. Add remaining vegetables and water. Bake approximately 20 minutes.

3. Dilute the flour in a little cold water and add to vegetables. Add all other ingredients. Allow to thicken. Add flour or cornstarch to thicken if necessary. Add dumplings.

This stew is even better reheated. I love using buckwheat dumplings in the stew.
