Potato and chestnut dumplings

Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 750 g dumpling dough, e.g. half&half or as desired
  • 150 g chestnuts, pre-cooked and peeled
  • some parsley stalks, chopped, about 3 – 4 stalks

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Mix the dumpling dough (you can use homemade or store-bought, which is also very good) well with the chopped parsley. With the chestnuts, you have two options. You can take a tennis ball-sized amount of dumpling dough in your hand, press a whole chestnut into the center, and seal the dough tightly around the chestnut. Then, with lightly floured hands, roll the dumpling into a ball. Alternatively, you can chop the chestnuts and then mix them with the dumpling dough. Then, also with floured hands, roll them into a ball. Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil, then add plenty of salt. Add the dumplings to the water and let them simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes. This goes well with a spicy goulash, for example, or with game.
