INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- ½ cup corn kernels
- ½ cup okra, chopped
- 2 (14 ½-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable Broth
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (6-ounce) package vegan refrigerated biscuits
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for approximately 3 minutes, or until the onion becomes tender and translucent.
- In a 4-quart slow cooker, combine all the ingredients listed above, except for the refrigerated biscuits. This includes the sautéed onion and garlic, chopped carrots, chopped celery, corn kernels, chopped okra, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried rosemary, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. These ingredients will form the flavorful base of your stew.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours. During this time, the vegetables will become tender, and the stew will be infused with a savory aroma.
- While the stew is cooking, prepare the dumplings. Flatten the refrigerated biscuits with a rolling pin on a floured surface, then cut each biscuit into fourths.
- After the initial cooking time has elapsed, drop the biscuit pieces into the stew, distributing them evenly. Continue to cook for an additional 30 minutes to allow the dumplings to cook through.
