Easy vegetarian Canederli

I love Canederli, and I love to make them both dry and served with broth. This is a very easy and basic version in which I used two types of leftover bread I had, white and whole grain with seeds.

Time of preparation

about 20 minutes

Servings

3 Canederli

What did I use

a large bowl, a spoon, a large non-stick pot, a perforated spatula

Ingredients

130 gr of leftover bread, cut in little cubes

sage, minced, to taste

Ground cinnamon to taste

Nutmeg to taste

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons of ground Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano

Vegetable broth as required

4 tablespoons of flour

1 egg yolk

1 little white onion

1 tablespoon of butter

some fresh chives to decorate

How did I do

I peeled the onion and cut it into pieces. I minced it finely.

I mixed bread with onion, Grana Padano, sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, yolk, salt and enough broth to knead it with my hands into a compact but soft dough. I added flour and continued to knead.

I divided the dough in three parts and formed 3 balls out of it.

I boiled them in plenty of broth at medium heat for about 10′. After drying them,I put them in the serving dish and in the same pot I melted the butter with some more sage. I poured the butter on the Canederli, I decorated with minced chives and I served immediately.

Buon appetito!
