Liver dumplings simply homemade

A few weeks ago, almost every beer garden celebrated the Oktoberfest - even in NRW. One specialty that you can easily cook at home is liver dumplings.

You do not need many ingredients - and the preparation is not difficult even for beginners.

Ingredients for 4-6 people

  • 12 old rolls, i. at least from the previous day
  • 1/2 l of milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 350 g pork liver
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tbsp marjoram, dried
  • salt and pepper

That is how it goes

  1. The rolls are cut into very thin slices. This is very easy with rock-hard rolls, if you put them in the microwave for 1 minute, then you can cut them well. Or you plan the liver dumplings two days before and put the fresh bread in a plastic bag. Even then you can cut them very well.
  2. The bread rolls are now in a bowl. The milk is heated and poured over the rolls.
  3. When the milk has been absorbed by the rolls, the 3 eggs are stirred in and then mixed vigorously.
  4. The liver and the onion are finely minced in the food processor or - chopped - with the stirring bar, the marjoram is added and salt and pepper to taste. Since the liver dumplings are cooked in broth, you do not need much salt.
  5. Finally, mix the liver / onion with the bun dough.
  6. Everything is kneaded well.
  7. Boil 2 liters of salt water and form once a small sample dumplings. Roll a ball between your palms with wet hands, then place it in the water.
  8. If the dough is just right, then it does not fall apart. If the dumpling does not hold together, add 2 tablespoons of dry breadcrumbs / breadcrumbs to the base. What could it be if he does not stop? For example, at the different size of the eggs.
  9. If the liver dumplings are of satisfactory consistency you can make them all.
  10. You will spend about 15 - 20 minutes in the broth. That means, after boiling up, you turn off the heat.

I like to eat these liver dumplings with raw sauerkraut or small gürkchen from the glass and a pretzel with coarse salt.

Or as a soup in a strong meat broth - which has been described very well in TheFruitAndFlowerBasket.

Good Appetite!
