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.
