David found this chunky veg stew with cheesy dumplings recipe on the Tesco Real Food website.  He was looking for vegetable based dish to make for lunches as an alternative to making a soup.

This hearty vegetarian one-pot meal is ideal for warming up with on a cold night...or day! The feta cheese in the dumplings gives them a slight salty tang, a great balance for the lightly spiced vegetable stew underneath.

Both the stew and the dumplings are delicious and full of flavour.   The combination of vegetables along with the beans and dumplings make it a very healthy and hearty plate of food.
