  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 25 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (376 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Dairy-free
  • Contains: beef, celery, egg, gluten, poultry

Ingredients

  • 40 g Wonton wrappers
  • 60 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
  • 15 g Onions, raw
  • 8 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 250 g Chicken broth
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 0.2 g Black pepper
  • 2 g Dill, fresh

Method

  1. Mix the ground beef with the finely chopped onion, egg, salt and pepper until well combined.
  2. Lay out the wonton wrappers, a fair stand-in for hand-rolled kreplach dough, spoon a little of the meat filling into the center of each, and fold into a triangle or small square, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the kreplach for 6-8 minutes, until the wrapper is tender and the filling is cooked through with no pink remaining; drain.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the chicken broth in a separate pot until simmering.
  5. Add the cooked kreplach to the hot broth, ladle into bowls, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh dill before serving.
