Recipe Instructions:
Ingredients:
• 250 grams stale bread, cut into small cubes
• 1 cup milk
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Bread:
• Place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour the milk over the bread and let it soak for about 10-15 minutes until the bread is soft.
2. Cook the Onion:
• In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
• Add the cooked onion, eggs, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) to the soaked bread. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
• Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add a bit more flour.
4. Form the Dumplings:
• Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
5. Cook the Dumplings:
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the dumplings to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and float to the surface.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the water and drain on a plate.
6. Serve:
• Serve the bread dumplings hot, either in a bowl with your favorite stew or hearty soup or on the side to soak up the delicious flavors.
Reheating Instructions:
• Stovetop: Reheat the dumplings gently in a pot of simmering water or broth until warmed through.
• Microwave: Heat on medium power in 30-second increments until heated through.
