Few ingredients. Great taste. Zero waste.

🔪 Preparation

Bread cube base:
Cut the old bread into small cubes. Place in a bowl and pour the warm oat milk over it. Let it soak for 10 minutes.

Prepare spinach:
Finely chop onion & garlic, sauté until translucent in a pan. Add spinach, sauté briefly. Let cool and squeeze out well.

Mix everything:
Combine the spinach-onion mixture with the bread and egg. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let it sit for a short while. If too moist: add some breadcrumbs.

Shape & cook dumplings:
Form 6–8 small dumplings from the mixture. Let them simmer in boiling salted water for about 15 minutes – do not boil vigorously!

Finish it:
Serve with melted butter and Parmesan – or for a trendy twist: top with vegan herb oil and crispy fried onions.

💡 Tip:

Do you have any leftover feta, nuts, or herbs? Add them into the mix or as a topping on top!
