• Form oval quenelles with the aid of 2 teaspoons, drop them into boiling water, don't overcrowd the pot, they will plump up.
• Cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until they rise to the surface.
• Remove from the heat, add one cup of cold water to the pot and let stand for another 10 minutes, by now they should have doubled in bulk.
• Drain and serve in broth, sprinkled with chives and grated nutmeg.
• Note: I always make one extra dumpling that can be cut open to check for doneness. If the sample dumpling is not soft inside, leave them a little longer. It should be soft but not mushy.

BEEF BROTH WITH SEMOLINA HERB DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• For the semolina dumplings: Beat butter with salt and nutmeg until fluffy. Whisk in egg, semolina and chives and allow to soak at least 20 minutes. Bring approximately 2 l (approximately 8 1/2 cups) salted water to a boil. Use two spoons to shape dumplings from the semolina mixture and place in the cooking liquid. Reduce the heat and let the semolina dumplings simmer until done, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the ham into strips. Rinse bell pepper, cut in half, remove seeds and cut the flesh into very thin strips. Boil the broth with 1 cinnamon stick and remove from heat. Add bell pepper and ham and allow to infuse for 2-3 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick from the soup. Remove the cooked semolina dumplings from the cooking water and put them in the soup. Serve the soup with the dumplings in soup bowls and garnish with remaining cinnamon sticks.

Steps:

• In a food processor, cream the butter and egg until light (about 30 seconds).
• Add the flours, salt and nutmeg, then process for 1 minute.
• Scrape down the bowl, and process for another minute. The dough should forma ball around the middle spindle. (If you don't have a food processor, you can use a mixer, but double the processing time.).
• Wrap the dough in plastic, and let rest, chilled, for about 2 hours, until stiff enough to shape into dumplings.
• After the dough is rested, bring the broth to a simmer in a large soup kettle. Adjust the heat if needed to maintain a gentle simmer.

• After all dumplings are in the broth, simmer, covered, for 18 - 20 minutes, until the dumplings are light and puffy.
• Ladle the soup into serving bowls, and top with the chives.
