Whats for dinner?

 Hello all and thanks for stopping by.

I will be adding some recipes to simplygiftn. their not fancy and you can substitute vegan meat with your own or just leave it out.

The recipe today is.. Potato Dumplings with grilled veg.


1) get 2 0r 3 med to small potatoes for a large family double the potatoes, boil, bake, steam, pressure cooker, or Insta pot. till soft,  cool, and peel. mash well if you have small chunks no problem.

2) add 1/2 teaspoon salt.

3) 1/2 cup to 1 cup flour of your choice. start out with the 1/2 cup and mix well if the dough seems wet add just a little flour at a time till the dough is stiff if it's too stiff just add a little milk of your choice about a tablespoon.

4) get two teaspoons like the ones you use for eating. and spoon your dumplings onto a cookie sheet. Freeze for 15 to 20 min. I freeze them a bit so they hold together better and don't fall apart when being cooked. also once frozen they last quite well in the freezer so you can make large batches.

5) while the dumplings are in the freezer. I chop up about 1/2 cup of onions, mini red bells, and 1 to 2 cloves of garlic. put in a pan with your choice of oil. and saute or grill for about 10 min. Then I add mushrooms, add a sprinkle of salt, and seasoning salt, to taste then vegan chorizo crumbles this is optional you can add any cooked meat or veg. you want. 

6) Get a quart pan of water to boiling add dumplings and cook for about 4 min. Drain water add dumplings to your pan of veggies toss and cook on low heat for about 15 to 20 min. until the dumplings are golden brown. Now I make mine in a countertop oven. you can do this stovetop. taste, taste add more seasoning if needed.

Then serve.. The little dumplings are great with all kinds of dishes just experiment. 

I hope you enjoy it. 

Have a great day with much success

Robin
