Cathy’s ‘it gets easier’ mushroom stew recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
Cathy’s next-door neighbours have just brought home their newborn baby. Remembering what being a new parent is like, Cathy has an idea. She begins frying Tesco Finest Shiitake Mushrooms, then stirring in delicious caramelised veg and topping it off with fluffy dumplings. A big pot of her rich, warming stew is just what her sleep-deprived next-door neighbours need.

- In a large saucepan (one that has a secure-fitting lid), heat 2 tbsp olive oil over a medium heat. Fry the leeks and shallots for 5 mins to soften. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery; fry for another 5 mins.
- Stir in the tomato purée, wine, stock and soy sauce; bring to a simmer, stirring well. Turn to a gentle simmer while you cook the mushrooms.
- In a separate large frying pan, heat the remaining oil over a medium-high heat. Slice the larger shitake mushrooms in half and keep the smaller mushrooms whole. Fry with the halved chestnut mushrooms for 8-10 mins until just starting to soften, then remove and stir into the veg pan.
- Prepare the dumplings to pack instructions, adding half the parsley to the mixture before adding the water. Shape into 8 smaller dumplings (the mix makes 6 but stretches to 8 easily). Pop these on top of the stew. Place the stew on a medium heat, cover and cook for 20-25 mins until the dumplings are cooked through. Serve sprinkled with the remaining parsley.
