Method

  • 1 Preheat oven to 200c/Gas Mark 6
  • 2 Place the onion, celery and garlic in a large sauce pan with 3 tablespoons of the stock. Bring to the boil then simmer for about 10 minutes until onion celery and garlic is soft, adding more stock if pan dries out
  • 3 Add soya chunks the rest of the stock and Worcestershire sauce, bring back to the boil, then turn off heat and leave to let soya chunks soften
  • 4 After 10 minutes add the chopped tomatoes and peas, bring back to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for 5 minutes
  • 5 Pour into a oven proof dish
  • 6 In a bowl, sieve the flour, baking powder and curry powder, add the yoghurt and rub together until it resembles bread crumbs, add enough milk to create a dough that holds together
  • 7 Kneed dough until it is smooth and elastic using more flour if needed
  • 8 Pull off lumps of the dough and roll in your hands to make a ball . Place the scones on top of the stew, leaving space between them as they will spread, then place the dish on the middle shelf and bake for about 45 minutes or until scones are brown
  • 9 Serve with green vegetables or carrots

Variations.

  • 1 Use a combination of vegetables chopped small, or a tin of kidney beans or other beans instead of the soya chunks
