Method
 

Dumpling Dough Prep
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Cut in cold vegan butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add plant-based milk, stirring until just combined. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
Cook Vegetables
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté finely chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add diced carrots, celery, and chopped mushrooms, stirring frequently for about 8-10 minutes.
Create Stew Base
  1. Stir in tomato paste and vegan Worcestershire sauce, mixing well for about a minute. Pour in vegetable broth and rinsed cannellini beans, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Add Dumplings
  1. Remove chilled dough and form into small balls. Nestle dumplings into the simmering stew, cover, and steam for 10 minutes. Ladle stew liquid over dumplings and cook for another 5 minutes.
