My German nana taught me this and it’s stayed with us since!
This hearty German dish combines the flavors of tender cabbage with fluffy dumplings, making for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Green cabbage, chopped | 1 medium head |
| Butter | 2 tablespoons |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1 |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Milk | 1/2 cup |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Chopped fresh parsley | For garnish (optional) |
Instructions:
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft and translucent.
- Add chopped cabbage, season with salt and pepper. Cook until cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Whisk flour and salt in a medium bowl. Beat eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Gradually add wet mixture to dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop small portions of dumpling batter into boiling water using two spoons. Cook until dumplings rise to the surface and are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Fold cooked dumplings into tender cabbage.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
