Ingredients

  • 5-6 rolls (dry from the day before, approx. 320g)
  • 300 ml plant-based drink (unsweetened)
  • 1 large onion (finely chopped)
  • some oil
  • ΒΌ bunch of parsley
  • 5 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 100 g chickpea flour or soy flour
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the well-dry rolls from the day before into small cubes and place in a large bowl. Put aside.
  • Peel the onion and cut into fine cubes.
  • Steam these in a little oil until they are translucent and season with a little salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile wash and finely chop the parsley.
  • Warm the plant drink slightly and stir in the soy or chickpea flour.
  • Now add the liquid to the bowl with the bread rolls.
  • Now add the onions, breadcrumbs, parsley and nutmeg, as well as a little salt (about teaspoon). This is then kneaded into a compact mass and left to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Then put on a large saucepan with water and salt and bring to a boil.
  • In the meantime, shape the dumplings (it will be about 10 regular sized dumplings or more if they are made smaller).
  • When the water is boiling, reduce the temperature (it should no longer boil and bubble) and let the dumplings float in the salted water for 10-15 minutes.
  • Get out of the water with a skimmer and serve.

Notes

The rolls should really be dry. Sometimes, it helps to just cut them into chunks and let them air dry for a few hours.
Please do not store rolls in plastic bags. They won't dry in it, they get just chewy. Best kept in a paper bag or simply covered with a kitchen towel.
The leftovers of the delicious dumplings - if there are any - simply roast them with a little vegetable fat in the pan the next day and enjoy with a salad or with the rest of the sauce.
