Instructions

  1. Mix the minced meat, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper well and form 8-9 dumplings out of them.
  2. Boil water with onions, spices, peppercorns and bay leaf for 30 minutes. Then add the butter, a pinch of salt and the dumplings and cook for another 30 minutes.
  3. Now take the dumplings out of the sauce, pass them through a sieve and pour them back into the saucepan. Add capers, white wine and a little lemon juice. Thicken the sauce with 1 tablespoon of flour dissolved in a little cold water. Finally stir in the egg yolk, but do not cook any more. Place the dumplings in the sauce and let them steep for a moment.
  4. Serve traditionally with boiled potatoes and beetroot.
  5. The recipe is harder to read than it is. Even as a novice cook, I got it without any problems and without help, and my family and relatives were also enthusiastic.
