Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme or parsley
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (as needed)
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 head cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl: all-purpose flour, dried thyme or parsley, black pepper, salt, and optional baking powder and baking soda. Whisk together.

2. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add to the dry ingredients. Gently incorporate the wet and dry components, adding milk as needed to achieve a thick dough.

3. Set the dumpling dough aside while preparing the cabbage mixture.

4. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded cabbage, stock, and garlic powder.

5. Cover and let simmer until the cabbage is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

6. Drop the dumpling dough onto the simmering cabbage mixture, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes until dumplings are cooked through.

7. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoon of unsalted butter and chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

This dish can be served hot with various side dishes like boiled potatoes or sautéed green beans.

For a heartier meal, consider adding smoked sausage or bacon to the cabbage mixture. Vegetarians can substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and omit meat components.
