Zutaten
150gbeef liver~5.3 oz
100gbread cubes or 2 stale bread rolls~1 cup
100gbreadcrumbs~¾ cups
100gbrown onion~1 cup
4clovesgarlic
4tablespoonparsleychopped
1tablespoonfattraditionally beef kidney fat was used, but I use regular canola oil
1teaspoonfine-grained salt½ to 1 level teaspoon maximum, no more, otherwise it will be too salty
½teaspoonfinely ground black pepper
1teaspoondried marjoram
Anleitung
Cut the beef liver into even, small pieces and place in a blender jug.
Place the bread cubes in a bowl and cover with water. Leave to infuse for a few minutes. Then strain through a sieve and press out well. As little water as possible should end up in the liver dumpling mixture.
Peel, halve and dice the onion. Heat the fat in a pan and fry the onion over a medium heat until translucent. Add the finely chopped parsley to the pan and fry for a few seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.
Peel the garlic and crush with a garlic press.
Add to the liver in the blender along with the salt, pepper and marjoram.
Add the bread cubes and onion.
Blend until the liver pieces are very finely chopped.
Transfer to a bowl. Mix in the breadcrumbs until a firmer dumpling mixture is formed. Depending on how well the breadcrumbs have been squeezed out, you may need a little less or more than the 100 g breadcrumbs specified.
Cover the mixture in the bowl and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
Using a tablespoon, cut out equal-sized pieces from the mixture and form dumplings of the desired size.
In the meantime, bring water or soup to the boil in a large pan. Place all of the dumplings in the boiling water at the same time if possible.
Depending on the size, simmer gently for approx. 10-20 minutes. My dumplings in the recipe were approx. 4 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter and were ready after 10 minutes of cooking.
