Method
Soak the bread in 50 ml of water for 5 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.
Trim the liver, chop it, and pulse it in a blender with the bread and onion3.
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing into a thick dough.
Bring 700 ml of water with a bouillon cube to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
Shape small dumplings with two spoons and drop them into the broth.
Simmer for 12–15 minutes until the dumplings float and firm up inside.
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.
