Polenta dumplings

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 1 cup of polenta, the cup should not be completely full
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion(s), finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 50 g bacon, lean or ham cubes
• salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp oat flakes
• Clarified butter

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Cup size 250 ml Bring the stock to a boil, add a little salt and stir in the butter, polenta and oats. Cook over low heat for about 2 minutes while stirring, then set aside and allow to cool slightly. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and fry the onion until golden brown, briefly fry the bacon cubes, add the garlic and then stir everything into the polenta mixture. Let it rest for about 15 minutes, then form 8 flat patties from the mixture (it will be soft). Fry these on both sides in clarified butter, for a few minutes on each side, at a slightly reduced heat. They go very well with chive sauce or dill sauce and potatoes or simply a mixed salad; these patties also taste very good cold.
