Ingredients
- 400 g floury potatoes
- 8 quail eggs
- 200 g spinach
- salt
- pepper (from the mill)
- nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 1 egg yolk
- 250 g shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- 1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Steam about 150 grams of the potatoes for around 30 minutes until they are cooked through.
- 2. Boil the quail eggs for about 3 minutes so that the yolk remains soft. Let the eggs cool down completely afterwards.
- 3. Wash the spinach and remove tough stems. Set aside some nice leaves for decoration. Blanch the remaining spinach for approx. 1 minute in salted water (cook briefly in boiling water). Shock it immediately with cold water, squeeze it well, and chop it finely. Season the spinach with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- 4. Peel the remaining raw potatoes and grate them finely. Squeeze the grated potatoes well in a kitchen towel. Catch the released liquid. Wait until the starch has settled at the bottom, carefully pour off the water, and add the starch to the potatoes.
- 5. Peel the steamed potatoes and press them through a potato ricer directly onto the raw potatoes.
- 6. Take the yolk from the boiled quail eggs and add it to the potato dough. Season everything with salt and nutmeg.
- 7. Knead the ingredients into a smooth dough. If the dough is too soft, add a little extra starch. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- 8. Flatten each portion. Place 1 tablespoon of the seasoned spinach filling in the center. Seal the dumplings by pressing the edges firmly together.
- 9. Place the dumplings in a pot of simmering water. Let them cook through for approx. 20 minutes, but do not let the water boil vigorously.
- 10. Clean the mushrooms. Fry them in a pan with hot butter for approx. 5 minutes. Season them with salt and pepper while frying.
- 11. Plate the finished dumplings with the fried mushrooms and the reserved spinach leaves, and serve.
