Crumble the two slices of toast and place in a bowl, add the minced meat. Now add the egg, mustard and quark. Roast the fennel seeds and pepper in a pan without fat until the pepper begins to pop, then grind and add to the minced meat.

Add the thyme leaves and the diced soft tomatoes and knead everything very well and then shape into small meatballs. Then heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the meatballs until golden brown and then remove them first.

Whisk some milk with the starch. Deglaze the roast stock with the remaining milk and cream and lemon juice and add the bay leaves, bring to the boil and thicken with the starch milk.

Arrange the dumplings with the sauce on a plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest and enjoy. We had ciabatta with it.
