Method

  4. Bring 700 ml of water with a bouillon cube to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer.

  6. Simmer for 12–15 minutes until the dumplings float and firm up inside.

  7. Serve the soup topped with sliced green7 onions3.

Tips

Why it works
Blend the liver with the bread to avoid lumps and get a smooth mixture for the dumplings. If you chop it with a knife, they will fall apart when cooked.
Substitutions
Instead of beef liver you can use chicken liver (120 g), but the dumplings will be less firm. Replace the regular onion with 30 g of shallot for a milder taste.
Common mistakes
If the dumplings don't float and stay soft inside, they are undercooked. Check after 10 minutes, and if they aren't ready, keep cooking.
Storing and reheating
Keeps for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat over medium heat for 5 minutes, adding a little water so they don't dry out.
Serve with
Serve with black bread and sauerkraut for a contrast of sour and soft.
