Canederli, also known as knödel, are traditional dumplings that originate from the Alpine regions of Northern Italy, Austria, Bavaria, and Switzerland. These hearty and filling dumplings are typically made with bread, milk, eggs, and various seasonings, and can be enjoyed in soups or as a main course. If you’re looking to add some new and exciting flavors to your cooking, then learning how to prepare canederli is a great place to start!

Ingredients:

• 1 big loaf of stale bread
• 2 cups of milk
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup of flour
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp of butter
• 1 tsp of dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. To start preparing your canederli, you’ll need to make sure your bread is stale. Cut your stale bread into small cubes and place them in a large bowl.

2. Pour milk into the bowl, making sure all the bread is submerged. Let the bread soak in the milk for about 20-30 minutes, until it is thoroughly soaked.

3. While the bread is soaking, prepare your onion and garlic by peeling and finely chopping them.

4. In a frying pan, melt a tablespoon of butter and sweat the chopped onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.

5. Add the dried thyme to the frying pan and cook for a minute or two to release the aromas.

6. Once your onions and garlic are done cooking, add them to the bowl with the soaked bread and mix them well.

7. Slowly add flour to the mixture, stirring well as you do. Continue adding flour until you have a cohesive and pliable dough.

8. Crack two eggs into the bowl and mix them well with the dough using your hands. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is well combined.

9. Once your dough is ready, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

10. Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls (around 2 inches in diameter) and then add them to the boiling water.

11. Boil the canederli for around 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the top of the water.

12. Remove the canederli from the water using a slotted spoon. Serve them hot on their own or in a soup of your choice.

Tips:

• Make sure your bread is stale. Fresh bread won’t work for this recipe as it will not absorb the liquid well enough.

• You can alter the flavor profile of your canederli by using different herbs and spices. Don’t be afraid to experiment!

• Make sure your canederli are well cooked before you serve them. Cut one open to check it’s cooked throughout.

Conclusion:

Canederli are a delicious and hearty dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or in a soup. Once you’ve perfected the art of making canederli, you can experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique versions of this traditional dish. So why not impress your friends and family by mastering the canederli? Happy cooking!
