Canederli is a traditional dish from the northern regions of Italy, particularly South Tyrol and Trentino. These delicious dumplings are made with stale bread, eggs, milk, and various seasonings. Canederli can be served in various ways, with different sauces, but one of the most popular methods is to cook them with butter. In this article, we will explore the process of preparing canederli with butter, step by step.

To begin, here’s a list of ingredients you will need for this recipe:
– 250 grams of stale bread
– 200 milliliters of milk
– 2 eggs
– 100 grams of speck (smoked bacon), finely chopped
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, finely chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 100 grams of butter

Firstly, you need to prepare the bread. Cut it into small cubes and place them in a large bowl. Pour milk over the bread cubes and let them soak for about 10 minutes until the bread is soft and moist.

In the meantime, heat a pan over medium heat and melt 20 grams of butter. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Add the speck and cook for another couple of minutes until it turns slightly crispy. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down.

Once the onion and speck mixture has cooled down, add it to the bowl with the soaked bread. Add the finely chopped parsley, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Now it’s time to shape the canederli. Wet your hands with water to prevent the mixture from sticking. Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a compact ball, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat the process until you have used up all the mixture.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water. Gently drop the canederli into the pot and cook for about 15 minutes. You will know they are cooked when they start to float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove the canederli from the boiling water and set them aside.

Finally, it’s time to cook the canederli with butter. In a separate pan, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Once melted, add the cooked canederli to the pan and cook them for a few minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Make sure to rotate them gently to get an even color.

Once the canederli are beautifully golden brown, they are ready to be served. Remove them from the pan and place them on a serving dish. Drizzle some of the melted butter from the pan over the canederli.

Canederli with butter are best served hot and are often enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. You can also serve them with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor. They pair well with a fresh salad or sautéed vegetables.

In conclusion, cooking canederli with butter is a mouthwatering experience that is relatively simple to achieve. With a few basic ingredients and the right techniques, you can create a delicious and comforting Italian dish that will surely impress your family and friends. So, why not give it a try and indulge in the flavors of South Tyrol and Trentino by preparing these buttery, flavorful canederli?
