Method

  1. Step 1

    In a large heavy pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add celery, carrot, parsnip, swede, turnip, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 4 mins or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the flour. Cook for 1 min to incorporate flour. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Add stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and add chicken. Partially cover the pot and simmer for 15 mins or until chicken and vegetables are tender. Season stew with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, to make the dumplings, in a medium bowl, mix flour, sage, baking powder, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Using a rubber spatula, stir in buttermilk and egg until blended. Fold in butter.

  4. Step 4

    Using 2 spoons, scrape 12 spoonfuls of dumpling batter onto the surface of the simmering chicken mixture. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 mins or until the dumplings are puffed and firm.

  5. Step 5

    Divide stew and dumplings among serving bowls and serve.
