Delicate, soft dumplings baked in the oven with seasonal vegetables, lean sausage and mozzarella cheese. How about this for a mid-week lunch or dinner? We like this version very much. If you have previously prepared frozen dumplings on hand, or even ready-made ones bought in a store, you will prepare the entire dish in no time and without much effort. Dumplings with vegetables are a simple dinner recipe that will please the whole family.
In my family house, we eat potato dumplings with creamy sauce and lots of mushrooms. This is my favourite way to eat potato dumplings and this probably won’t change. I ate potato dumplings with various toppings but nothing beats this mushroom sauce… However, this won’t stop me from trying new recipes and adding some new combinations to our home menu. Therefore, if you are wondering what to eat dumplings with, grab the recipe below and get inspired.
Polish potato dumplings with vegetables - why try this recipe?
- Oven baked dumplings are a really simple and not very time-consuming recipe. Just boil the dumplings and chop the rest of the ingredients. The oven will do the rest for you.
- Baked dumplings are very tasty and also look great. That’s why you can prepare them for dinner or a meeting with friends.
- The recipe is very versatile. Customise it according to your preferences using your favourite seasonal vegetables or those you have on hand or in the garden. Dumplings, both homemade or bought in a store, will work perfectly here. You can also use ready-made gnocchi, they are probably more accessible than potato dumplings, and they are very similar.
- You can make this vegetarian by simply omitting sausage. Feel free to add more vegetables or cheese instead.
From this recipe, you will prepare 4 large portions or 6 smaller ones.
