Ingredients
- 500 g mixed minced meat
- 55 g egg
- 80 g onion
- 30 g ground almonds
- 500 g stock
- 150 g cream
- 20 g capers
- 15 g lemon juice
- 10 g mustard
- 10 g butter
- 4 g spices
Preparation
- Knead the ground meat with the egg, finely diced onion, ground almonds (they replace the bread roll), salt and pepper and shape into dumplings.
- Heat the broth and let the dumplings poach gently in it for 15 minutes, then remove them.
- Reduce the broth by about half, add the cream and reduce for another 5 minutes until creamy.
- Stir in the butter, mustard, capers and lemon juice, return the dumplings and season. Cauliflower mash (see Sides) goes well with this.
Traditionally a carb-heavy dish with roux, bread roll and boiled potatoes – this way it stays around 7 g of carbs per serving, and the flavor stays fully intact.
