Time 40m

Yield 18 dumplings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 cup semolina (farina can be substituted)
1 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch salt
fresh ground pepper
soup stock
chopped chives (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and melted butter until foamy, stir in the semolina, season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Mix well and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • 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.
