Ingredients
Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.
Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Step 2
For the beef stew, heat the oil and butter in an ovenproof casserole and fry the beef until browned on all sides.
Step 3
Sprinkle over the flour and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
3 min
Step 4
Add the garlic and all the vegetables and fry for 1-2 minutes.
2 min
Step 5
Stir in the wine, stock and herbs, then add the Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar, to taste. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 6
Cover with a lid, transfer to the oven and cook for about two hours, or until the meat is tender.
Step 7
For the dumplings, sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the suet and enough water to form a thick dough.
Step 8
With floured hands, roll spoonfuls of the dough into small balls.
Step 9
After two hours, remove the lid from the stew and place the balls on top of the stew. Cover, return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes, or until the dumplings have swollen and are tender. (If you prefer your dumplings with a golden top, leave the lid off when returning to the oven.)
20 min
Step 10
To serve, place a spoonful of mashed potato onto each of four serving plates and top with the stew and dumplings. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Substitutions
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
beef → tofu
Marinated tofu or mushrooms can take the savoury role. Label the plate as a vegetarian adaptation.
flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)
Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.
garlic (garlic powder or a pinch of onion) → garlic powder or a pinch of onion
1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing.
onion → shallot
Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.
