Chop one onion in half, wash it but do not peel it.

Place the onion into a slow cooker with a few pieces of marrow bone and 250 grams of beef shin.

Add a little bit of water and roast these ingredients in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about half an hour, turning the meat over halfway through.

Peel two carrots and one parsnip while the beef is in the oven.

After half an hour, take the dish out of the oven and place it back in the slow cooker.

Add plenty of boiling water, a bay leaf, half a teaspoon of black peppercorns, a few allspice berries (about half a teaspoon), one teaspoon of salt, and the root vegetables.

Slow cook the broth for at least three hours.

To make the liver dumplings, use 200 grams of veal liver and process it until smooth using a mixer.

Add one teaspoon of ground pepper, one teaspoon of dried marjoram, one teaspoon of chopped parsley, one clove of crushed garlic, and half a teaspoon of salt to the liver mixture; stir well.

Add one egg and five level tablespoons of breadcrumbs to the mixture and stir again.

Place the mixture in the fridge for half an hour.

Place the remaining breadcrumbs on a plate and roll small amounts of the liver mixture in the breadcrumbs to create dumplings; repeat with the remaining mixture.

Simmer the dumplings very gently for about 20 minutes.

While the dumplings are simmering, sieve the beef broth to keep it warm.

Clean the root vegetables and cut them into small pieces; cut the meat into small pieces as well.

Add the meat and vegetables back into the broth once the dumplings are ready.

Place the dumplings in soup bowls and pour the beef broth over them; sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
