Suet alternative anyone?

Hi I presume that you want an alternative to suet because you are vegetarian. If this is the case ther is a vegetarian alternative to beef suet. I don't knoiw wherre you are from but in Britain Atora make a vegetarian suet and it is available in most supermarkets. If the reason is more weight related this is a low fat recipe for dumplings - they're not quite the same as regular ones but are still very tasty 250g cottage cheese 50g flour 1 beaten egg 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon mixed herbs ( optional) salt and pepper Mix everything together, add more polenta if the mixture is too runny. Shape mixture into dumplings, drop into hot stew and simmer fo ten minutes, or put on a plate, cover in cling film and cook in a microwave for 2 - 3 minutes until firm
