Ingredients

Broth
  • 10 cloves garlic
  • Big thumb-sized ginger piece
  • 1 star anise
  • ¼ cinnamon stick
  • Freshly ground black pepper (about 10 grinder turns)
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp vegan chicken stock powder
  • 1 bunch Tuscan kale
  • 1 bunch silverbeet (Swiss chard)
Dumplings
  • ½ cup plain (all-purpose) flour
  • ¼ cup cornmeal
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • ¾ cup oat milk
  • 1 tbsp melted plant-based butter
To serve
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Bring 3 litres of water to a boil in a deep pot.
  2. While that is happening, roughly chop up the garlic and ginger and add to the water along with the spices and the vegan chicken stock powder. Cut the stalks from the leafy greens, layer one on top of the other and roll up like a cigar. Cut into 2 cm strips and place in the pot of boiling liquid, turn the pot to medium, put the lid on and cook for about 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, for the dumplings: Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix with a spoon. The dough should be very sticky.
  4. When the greens have cooked for around 30 minutes, take the lid off the pot. Take a tablespoon, wet it, then scoop out pieces of the dough, making little gaps in the greens and placing in the dumplings. Repeat until all dumpling mixture is used up.
  5. Cover with the lid and simmer the dumplings and greens for about 10 minutes. Garnish with lemon zest and serve with a wedge of lemon for squeezing over.
