Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Dumplings

Ingredients

For the Dough

• 2 cups sifted gluten-free bread mix

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon salt

• 1 tablespoon oil

For the Filling

• 2 large sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed

• 1/4 stick butter

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Cooking

• Water

• 1 tablespoon oil

• Salt

How to Make Them

Begin by preparing the filling. Heat a little oil in a skillet and sauté the chopped onion until golden and caramelized.

Add the onion to the mashed sweet potatoes and stir in the butter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix well. Set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free bread mix, egg, salt, and oil. Gradually add a little of the sweet potato cooking water, mixing until a soft dough forms that is smooth and easy to work with but not sticky.

Divide the dough into portions and roll each one into a circle on a lightly floured surface.

Place a spoonful of the sweet potato filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly together to seal.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a little salt and oil to the water.

Carefully place the dumplings into the boiling water.

Once the dumplings float to the surface, continue cooking for about 7 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish.

Serving Suggestion

Serve warm with a fresh vegetable salad, sautéed vegetables, or a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a comforting and satisfying meal.
