Austrian-Style Mushroom & Herb Dumpling (Semmelknödel) in Mushroom Sauce
A single portion of Austrian cooking, ready in 27 minutes with 9 minutes of prep. Vegetarian, and written for one, so there is nothing to halve.
Method
- 1
Soak the bread cubes in the warm milk for 5 minutes.
- 2
Fry the onion in a little butter until soft, then mix into the bread with the egg and parsley. Shape into one large dumpling.
- 3
Lower the dumpling into a pan of gently simmering salted water, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until firm.
- 4
Meanwhile, fry the mushrooms in the remaining butter for 4–5 minutes, add the stock, simmer for 2–3 minutes, then stir in the soured cream.
- 5
Slice the dumpling and serve with the mushroom sauce, scattered with chives.
