Try this tender dumpling with sauerkraut or buttered noodles. From the Pennsylvania Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs liver (calf, pork, beef or lamb liver may be used) |
1 large onion, peeled and diced |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 quarts soft breadcrumbs |
2 eggs, well beaten |
1/2 cup flour |
salt and pepper |
parsley, minced (optional) |
Directions:
1. Simmer liver in water for a few minutes before grinding and force meat through a food chopper. 2. Fry onion in butter; add bread crumbs. 3. Combine liver and eggs; mix well. 4. Add bread crumb mixture. 5. Season to taste. 6. Stir in flour (using more than a 1/2 cup if necessary) to make a batter stiff enough to drop from the spoon. 7. Drop into a kettle of hot broth or soup; cover tightly and cook for 30 minutes. 8. Shake pan frequently to prevent dumplings from sticking to each other. |
