Ingredients
- 8 cups Stale whole wheat bread cubes
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
Directions
Step 1
Cut the stale whole wheat bread into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat the milk until warm. Pour the warm milk over the bread cubes and let them soak for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the onion. In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and saute the onion until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Step 5
Finely chop the parsley and add it to the egg mixture along with the sautéed onion.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture over the soaked bread cubes, then add the whole wheat flour. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands or a spatula until well combined and the dough can hold its shape.
Step 7
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 8
Moisten your hands and form the bread mixture into dumplings, about the size of a medium apple.
Step 9
Carefully place the dumplings into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the dumplings for 15-20 minutes, making sure they do not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain well.
Step 11
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite gravy-laden main course.
