Preparation

  • Dice the onion finely.
  • Melt the butter in a pan, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
  • Add the cooked beetroot, onion, salt, pepper, nutmeg, caraway, coriander, sage, balsamic vinegar and egg, and blend finely using a hand blender or in a mixer.
  • Put LEIMER dumpling bread, low-fat quark and the beetroot mixture into a bowl, knead well and let rest for approx. 20 minutes.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the roughly diced beetroot or beetroot juice.
  • Knead the dumpling mixture again well (if the mixture is too firm, add a little milk; if it is too soft, add some LEIMER breadcrumbs or flour). Form 6 dumplings (approx. 60 g each) from the mixture, place them into the hot water and let them steep for approx. 15 minutes — do not boil.
