Instructions
- Remove any visible white veins from 7 ounces chicken livers. Place the livers in a food processor and blend for a few seconds.
- Add 3 cloves garlic, 1 medium egg, ½ Tablespoon dried marjoram, 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper to the food processor. Pulse a few times until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add ½ cup breadcrumbs. Stir until well incorporated.
- Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. Don't worry if it seems runny at first; it will thicken over time.
Shaping liver dumplings (2 methods):
- For beautifully round dumplings: Dump the mixture onto a work surface dusted with breadcrumbs. Quickly use your hands to form it into a cylinder. Dip your hands in water, scoop out an equal amount of the mixture, and roll it into a ball about 1 ½ inch (4 cm) in diameter between your palms. Drop the dumpling into simmering broth. Continue shaping the remaining dumplings in the same way.
- If you want to make dumplings quickly: Using two spoons dipped in water, scoop up the mixture and shape it as round as possible. Drop the dumpling into the simmering broth.
- Cook the dumplings in the simmering broth for about 5 minutes. During this time, the dumplings will rise to the surface.
Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes about 15-18 dumplings (depending on their size).
- SERVING: Serve the liver dumplings as part of the soup you cooked them in. Place about 3-5 dumplings on each soup bowl.
- If the liver dumpling mixture is still too runny after 30 minutes, add a tablespoon or two of breadcrumbs, stir, and let it rest for another 5 minutes.
- The dough for liver dumplings should have a sharper taste, as the boiling process in the broth or water will mellow some of the flavors.
