LIVER DUMPLINGS



Liver Dumplings image

My mother used to make this wonderful dumpling served in broth. German in origin, this dish tastes so much better than it looks. You will be going back for seconds and thirds. My mother would grind the liver in her own meat grinder. I never had one, but if I caught the butcher at the supermarket in a good mood he would do it for me.

Provided by CN47165

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
16 ounces chicken stock
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon salt
2 -3 tablespoons water
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon dill

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 tsp salt. Make a well in the center, and add the egg and egg yolk, beaten. Stir together until well incorporated. Add water, 1 Tbsp at a time, and stir until dough forms a ball. Turn onto a floured surface, and add flour as needed while kneading until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • In a stock pot, melt the butter, and add the celery, green onions and garlic. Cook and stir for several minutes on medium heat until celery begins to become translucent. Add the chicken, cook and stir about 5-10 minutes more, until chicken is cooked through. Add stock, ginger, parsley, dill and thyme, Simmer over medium heat while preparing noodles.
  • Place chilled dough onto floured surface, sprinkle flour on top, and roll out to about 1/8 inch thickness (may need to add more flour as you go to keep rolling pin from sticking). Using a knife or a pizza cutter, slice dough into long strips, gently pick up strips and lay them on a dish towel to dry. After about 15-20 minutes, cut the strips into desired lengths. I prefer about 1 1/2-2 inches long. Place the noodles into the simmering stock. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until noodles are done. Add the peas, and cook an addition 5-10 minutes. If you desire a thicker soup, dissolve the 2 Tbsp cornstarch in warm water, and stir in to soup. Cook an additional 5 minutes.

This is a traditional German recipe from the Bavarian region. You may substitute the beef liver with lamb or pork liver since the recipe I found says those have milder flavors.

Provided by Scarlett516

Categories     German

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 day-old bread rolls (i.e., Kaiser roll would work well)
1/8 liter lukewarm milk (about 6 ounces, or 3/4 cup)
2 eggs, beaten
1 onion, finely chopped
400 g trimmed and finely ground cow's liver (a little less than a pound)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 pinch dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon of zested lemon peel
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
about 1 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs
3/4 liter beef broth (750 ml, or about 24 ounces)

Steps:

  • Tear the day-old rolls into small pieces, and soak in a bit of cold water.
  • Squeeze out the water, then put the bread into a bowl. Add the milk and allow the bread to soak it up.
  • Beat the eggs, the pour over the milk.
  • Add the onion, liver, parsley, marjoram, lemon zest, salt, pepper and breadcrumbs.
  • Mix together well and knead until it forms a pliable dough. (You may need to add some plain bread crumbs.).
  • Form 12 walnut-sized dumplings.
  • Bring about 1.5 liters (50 ounces) of salted water to a boil.
  • Gently add the dumplings and simmer for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
  • While the dumplings are simmering, heat the beef broth and keep warm.
  • Pour the broth into bowls and add dumplings to each serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Prep the chicken livers thoroughly: Remove any connective tissue or greenish parts from the livers, as they can impart a bitter taste to the soup.
  • Soak the bread rolls in milk: This helps soften the bread and makes it easier to blend with the other ingredients.
  • Use a food processor to grind the chicken livers and bread: This ensures a smooth and consistent texture for the dumplings.
  • Season the dumpling mixture well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to create a flavorful dumpling.
  • Simmer the soup gently: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dumplings to cook through.
  • Serve the soup immediately: Chicken liver dumpling soup is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
