Instructions

  1. Wash the liver and sweetbreads and puree with the magic wand.
  2. Chop the garlic very finely, finely dice the half onion and add to the dumpling bread with the marjoram, egg, egg yolk, salt, pepper, grated lemon zest, nutmeg and some flour and process into an even dough.
  3. Let the dough sit for about 30 minutes and knead again. (If the dough is too moist, add some breadcrumbs; if it is too dry, add some milk.)
  4. Moisten your hands and form dumplings out of the dough.
  5. Bring the broth or salted water to a boil and let the dumplings stand in the open pot for about 20 minutes.
  6. The dumplings are tasty as a soup or with red cabbage and boiled beef as a main course.
  7. The sweetbreads can of course be left out or replaced with more veal liver. The veal liver can of course be replaced with cheaper beef or pork liver, but the taste of the liver dumplings is by no means as good.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
