Method

  1. To make the dumplings, blitz together the flour, Greek salad cheese, milk, chives and some black pepper in a food processor until well combined. Roll into 12 balls and set aside on a plate.
  2. Heat the oil in a large, deep pan or casserole dish over a medium heat and add the onion, celery and chilli. Cook for 10 mins until softened.
  3. Add the squash, sweet potatoes, cumin and garlic, increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 mins. Add the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and add the dumplings. Simmer for 25 mins, adding the butter beans 10 mins before the end.
  4. To thicken the stew, mash some of the sweet potato, squash and beans with a wooden spoon against the side of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and gently stir through the spinach. Divide between 4 bowls. Sprinkle with the chives and some black pepper before serving.
