Lentil & Mushroom Stew with Millet Dumplings

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Lentil & Mushroom Stew with Millet Dumplings
Fava Umami Paste lentils Millet Vegetarian Winter

by Amy Elysia February 05, 2025

Lentils are a great addition to any stew, combining here with the mushrooms to add a satisfying texture and peppery flavour, enriched by crème fraiche. Amy uses millet flour to give the dumplings a short, almost scone-like texture.

This recipe is heavy on the dill, an underappreciated herb in Britain, but if you've not a fan you can swap it out for basil or parsley.

Serves 4

Ingredients

For the Stew
  • 2 Carrot, finely chopped
  • 2 Sticks of Celery, finely chopped
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 400g Mixed Mushrooms, sliced
  • 300g Olive Green Lentils
  • 5 Cloves of Garlic, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Umami Paste
  • 1lt Stock, of your choice
  • 150g Crème Fraiche
  • Handful of Fresh Dill, roughly chopped
  • 1 Lemon, to serve
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
For the Dumplings
  • 200g Millet Flour
  • 2tbsp Oil
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 150ml Milk
  • 25g Cheddar Cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill, roughly chopped
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Method

  1. Set a large oven proof pan or skillet over a high heat and fry the mushrooms in the dry pan until reduced and starting to colour. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
  2. Add a generous amount of oil to the pan, along with the carrot, celery, onion and garlic. Fry on a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes until very soft and golden.
  3. Return the mushrooms to the pan, with the paprika, stock and umami paste and simmer with the lid on for 15 to 20 minutes or until the lentils are mostly cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile combine all your dumpling ingredients and bring together into a dough.
  5. Heat your oven to 180C.
  6. Stir in the crème fraiche and a small handful of dill (leaving some for garnish) through the stew, check the seasoning.
  7. Ball the dough into 6 to 8 dumplings and gently add to the stew.
  8. Cover the pan with a lid and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Uncover for a further 5 minutes to crisp the top of the dumplings (optional).
  9. Serve with a garnish of dill and a squeeze of lemon.

Malt Chocolate Chip Cookies
Author: Anna Warden Baking Emmer Flour Malted Wheat Flour Wheat Flakes Wholemeal flour YQ Flour
Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 20, 2025

This recipe from Anna Warden makes for a cookie that is crunchy on the outside, and chewy in the middle - to our mind the best combination. The malted wheat flour and coffee create a gorgeous depth of flavour and a moreish caramelly base which pairs perfectly with dark chocolate and sea salt. These cookies will keep in the freezer (unbaked) for a couple of weeks, and so are the perfect thing to have to hand for times you want a cookie or for when you might just need a cookie.

Apple Galette with Oat Topping

November 14, 2025

This rustic galette recipe from India Mathews is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and using the whole of the grain. Made with wholemeal flour, the pastry has a beautiful depth of flavour: nutty, buttery and subtly sweet. Beyond the taste, baking with wholemeal flour reduces food waste in the milling process.
