Sweet Potato Chilli with Coriander Dumplings [vegan]

This hearty sweet potato chilli is topped with moreish coriander dumplings.

This hearty sweet potato chilli is cooked in a rich tomato sauce seasoned with smoked paprika. It is served with some very moreish coriander dumplings that are perfect to soak up any extra juices.

I like to serve this dish with freshly chopped coriander and extra chillies on the side.

This is a really easy recipe to make that you can serve for a family meal or at a casual dinner party.

You can swap the sweet potatoes for butternut squash or pumpkin (just remember to adjust the cooking time).

Vegetarians can use regular butter instead of dairy-free butter.

How to make this sweet potato chilli with coriander dumplings recipe

First, you will need to fry the onion in some vegetable oil and then add the sweet potatoes, red pepper, chopped tomatoes, water. Then you can add the spices and crushed garlic cloves. Adding the spices at this stage will lock the flavours in.

While the chilli is cooking, you can start preparing the dumplings. All you have to do is place the self-raising flour, dairy-free butter, salt and freshly chopped coriander in a large bowl. Mix together with your hands until the dough sticks together to make one large ball. If it is too dry add a little bit of water. Split the dough into 14 chunks and roll each chunk into a small ball. You can leave the dumplings to rest while the chilli finishes cooking.

Once the chilli is ready, season it to taste with lime juice and salt.

Arrange the dumplings on top of the chilli and bake in the oven for 15 mins. Enjoy!
