Nice, hearty veg hotpot/stew?

[BettyButterknife]

I'd quite like to make a nice meal tonight and had thought about maybe a hotpot or stew, perhaps with sliced potatoes or dumplings on top.

Does anyone have a delicious recipe they could point me in the direction of, or give me some ideas? I could probably make something up given a few pointers...

what meat do you have?

If it's no meat the best thing is to get yr fave root vegs,; parsnip, swede, carrot etc. gently fry onions and garlic chopped then add veg chopped and a little stock tightly cover and slowly 'sweat'. cont..

when softened add more veg stock; miso or whatever and add dumplings for half an hour more, you can add cooked rice, haricot beans or pearl barley if you prefer. Enjoy.

My secret ingredient is coconut milk in veggie stews.
