Peel and finely dice the onion.

Fry the diced onion in a good tablespoon of goose fat, seasoning generously with salt and pepper, until translucent.

Prepare the chicken livers by removing the veins and cutting them into large pieces.

Puree the liver in a moulinette or chopper until finely chopped.

Weigh out half the amount of bread rolls for dumplings and half the weight of milk, then heat the milk in the microwave.

Stir the hot milk into the bread rolls to allow them to absorb the milk, ensuring some pieces may remain dry.

In a bowl, combine the chopped liver, soaked bread rolls, cooled onions, 1 egg, parsley, salt, and pepper, mixing well.

Add freshly grated nutmeg and marjoram to the mixture and stir again.

Cover the mixture and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably longer.

Form dumplings by taking a good tablespoon of the mixture and shaping it into a ball between your hands.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the dumplings, keeping the heat on medium while adding them.

Once all dumplings are in the pot, reduce the heat to let them simmer instead of boil.

After about 5 minutes, the dumplings should float; if they stick to the bottom, carefully remove them with a spoon.

Cook the dumplings for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until done, checking for doneness.

Remove the dumplings from the boiling water and place them in a soup bowl, filling it with broth.
