The more veg the better!

The great thing with casseroles is that you can literally chuck as much veg in as you possibly can! If you have veg that needs using up, then this dish is perfect.

Save calories and carbs by cutting out the dumplings/potatoes

As amazing as the dumplings are if you are on a healthy eating plan they can be adding extra calories. Leave them out to make this dish even healthier.

Don't have a slow cooker?

This meal can be cooked on a low heat in the oven.

Method:


Add all the casserole ingredients into your slow cooker and mix well.

Cook on low for 7 hours, or high for 3 hours. If you don't have a slow cooker, cook in the oven at 160 for 2 hours.

To make the dumplings, add the flour to a mixing bowl with the salt and pepper. Add the egg and oil and mix, adding just enough cold water to bring it together as a dough (about 4 tbsp). Separate out into 8 dumplings.

Be careful not to add too much water as this will ruin the dumplings and they will turn to mush!

Add the dumplings in the last 20 minutes of cooking.
