Leberknoedel (liver dumplings)
4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Chopped, stale kaiser-type rolls | |
| 1 | Onion, finely chopped | |
| 150 | grams | Ground liver (5 oz) |
| A little scraped spleen (optional) | ||
| 2 | tablespoons | Marjoram* |
| 1 | Egg | |
| ⅛ | litre | Milk (1/2 cup plus 1/2 Tbsp) |
| Salt | ||
| Pepper | ||
| Ground nutmeg | ||
| 1 [small] bunch parsley, chopped | ||
| A little bit grated lemon peel | ||
| A little butter for sauteing | ||
Directions
Soak the rolls in lukewarm milk. Saute the onion and parsley in butter, then add - along with the other ingredients - to the soaked rolls and mix well into a firm mass. If the mixture is too loose, add a bit of plain breadcrumbs. Shape into dumplings, put into barely boiling water, and let steep for 25 minutes. Transfer to clear beef broth and serve.
Serves 4.
[*Note: Based on the amount, I would imagine this is fresh marjoram.
