Tips:

  • When choosing spinach, look for fresh, dark green leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or yellow.
  • To easily remove the stems from the spinach, hold a handful of leaves at the base and run your fingers down the stems. The leaves will easily detach.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the spinach by hand. Just be sure to chop it very finely.
  • When making the dumpling dough, be sure to knead it until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to prevent the dumplings from breaking apart when they are cooked.
  • To test if the dumplings are cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the dumplings are done.
  • Serve the spinach dumpling stew immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
