This easy Greek casserole recipe uses up the best of your store cupboard. The dumplings on top are incredibly versatile and the stew can be made using any tinned beans you like – butterbeans would work especially well.
If you like your courgette dumplings a little spicier, try this courgette kofta curry.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 red peppers, deseeded and chopped
- 400g tin black-eyed beans, rinsed and drained (see Tips)
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 150g sugar snap peas
- Small handful dill, chopped, to garnish
For the dumplings
- 110g self-raising flour
- 1 medium courgette (200g), grated
- 140g feta, crumbled (vegetarian, if needs be)
Method
- Heat the oil in a casserole and fry the onion for about 8 minutes until softening. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Add the cinnamon and peppers and cook for 5 minutes more.
- Tip in the beans and chopped tomatoes, then rinse the tomato tin with 150ml water and stir into the beans. Season. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, mix the flour, courgette, feta and some seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Add a few tablespoons of water and use your hands to bring the mixture together so the courgette releases its own juice. Roll the dough into walnut- size balls (around 9-12), then set aside.
- Add the sugar snaps to the stew, arrange the dumplings on top, then cover with a lid or a sheet of foil and cook for 15 minutes until the dumplings have risen and are cooked through. Sprinkle with dill and serve.

Vegetables were good, I cooked the dumplings , following exact measured ingredients for 15 minutes as required, the dumplings were raw! dumplings were cooked for a further 15 minutes and were still barely cooked. Very disappointing.
I’m sorry to hear this recipe wasn’t a success. Our food team advise that the dumplings are cooked using the steam from the dish, so it’s important that they aren’t rolled too big (walnut-size). Thank you for letting us know that the cooking time wasn’t accurate for you so we can take another look at the recipe.
