Paleo Vegetable Dumplings are a delightful twist on traditional Chinese pizza, combining a crisp, grain-free crust with a savory filling of vibrant vegetables and aromatic spices. These dumplings are not only delicious but also align perfectly with a paleo lifestyle, making them a wholesome meal option.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200g
• Tapioca starch - 50g
• Egg - 1 large
• Water - 100ml
• Sea salt - 1/2 tsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp
• Cabbage - 100g, finely chopped
• Carrot - 50g, grated
• Bell pepper - 50g, finely chopped
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tsp, grated
• Coconut aminos - 1 tbsp
• Sesame oil - 1 tsp

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, and the egg. Gradually add water until a dough forms, then knead it gently until smooth.
2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add chopped cabbage, grated carrot, and bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in green onions and coconut aminos, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle on a piece of parchment paper.
6. Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold over and pinch the edges to seal, creating a dumpling shape.
7. In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
8. Add 50ml of water to the skillet and cover it with a lid to steam the dumplings for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Remove the lid and let the dumplings cook for another minute to crisp the bottom before serving.
