Traditional Vegetarian Spinach Dumplings Recipe

bread rolls

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option with a cheesy flavor.

Finely chop the onions and the clove of garlic.

Melt 10 g of butter in a pan, add the onion and garlic, and cook until soft and fragrant.

Add 50 mL of milk to the pan and warm it up.

Pour the warm milk over the bread cubes to soften them.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and grated parmesan, then mix everything together.

Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the bread to soften.

In a large pot, bring water to a simmer and add a pinch of salt.

Blanch the spinach in the simmering water, then drain it in a sieve and press out excess water once cooled.

Chop half of the spinach for a smoother texture.

Add the egg to the mixture after the resting period and mix well to combine.

Dampen your hands slightly to prevent sticking, take a portion of the mixture, and roll it into a round compact ball.

Repeat with the rest of the mixture to form dumplings.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer.

Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering water and cook for around 10 to 15 minutes.

Melt around 30 g of butter in a small pan until it bubbles and turns light golden brown, indicating it's ready when it smells nutty.

Serve the dumplings with the brown butter.
