With the exception of the vegetable onion, carefully knead the ingredients together and season the minced mixture with the four spices. The mass now needs approx. 15 minutes to swell. The spices must also unfold, if necessary, season again.
Shape the dough into balls of approx. 100 g and roll them vigorously in the breadcrumbs.
Melt the clarified butter in a large pan. Halve the onion and add to the pan to give the frying fat a strong aroma.
Now fry the dumplings over medium heat until golden brown. When these are brown and slightly crispy, take out the dumplings and place them briefly on a paper towel to dab off the excess fat.
They can be served hot or cold, but can also be eaten with vegetables and potatoes.
