  • Preparation: 40 min
  • Cooking: 25 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (457 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Contains: beef, celery, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 15 g Butter, soft
  • 25 g Egg
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 0.05 g Nutmeg
  • 45 g Semolina (durum or soft wheat)
  • 350 g Beef broth
  • 20 g Carrot
  • 2 g Chives

Method

  1. Beat the soft butter for 2-3 minutes until creamy, then beat in the egg, the salt and the nutmeg. Stir in the semolina to a smooth, soft mixture.
  2. Cover and leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes so the semolina can swell.
  3. Bring the broth to the boil, add the carrot, cut into thin slices or sticks, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Shape the mixture with two teaspoons dipped in the hot broth into small oval dumplings (Nockerl) and slip them into the gently simmering broth.
  5. Simmer them, covered, for 3-5 minutes, then take the pot off the heat and leave them, covered, for 15-20 minutes, until they have swelled and are light and cooked through; cut one open to check.
  6. Serve the Nockerl in the hot broth with the carrot, scattered with chopped chives.
