Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large (diced) Onion
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 medium (chopped) Celery stalks
• 3 medium (sliced) Carrots
• 4 large (cubed) Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 6 cups Vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 whole Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon (dried) Thyme
• 1 teaspoon (smoked or sweet) Paprika
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 1 teaspoon (freshly cracked) Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour (for dumplings)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for dumplings)
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons (cold, cubed) Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Milk

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic, celery, and carrots. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 3

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable stock and stir in the tomato paste until dissolved. Add the bay leaves, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and allow the stew to cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

While the stew simmers, prepare the dumpling dough. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and caraway seeds.

Step 6

Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the milk while mixing gently. Stir just until the dough comes together; be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

After 25 minutes of simmering, remove the bay leaves from the stew and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the simmering stew. Cover the pot and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed up and cooked through.

Step 10

Ladle the stew into serving bowls, ensuring each bowl gets a few dumplings. Serve warm and enjoy!
