Person(s)
  • For the Dumpling Dough:
  • 1 ½ cups
    Flour
  • ½ tsp
    Salt
  • 1
    Egg
  • ⅓ cup
    Water
  • For the Filling:
  • 200 g
    Beef
  • 1 1 small
    Onion
  • to taste
    Salt & Pepper
  • Optional: pinch of ground cumin or coriander
  • For the Broth:
  • 6 cups
    Beef Broth
  • 2 cloves
    Garlic
  • to taste
    Salt
  • Chopped fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, or dill)
Directions
  • Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Beat the egg with a fork and mix it in. Gradually add water while kneading until a soft, elastic dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 20–30 minutes.

  • Prepare the Filling

    Mix the minced meat with grated onion, salt, pepper, and optional spices. Combine well and keep chilled while you roll out the dough.

  • Shape the Dumplings

    Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface. Cut into 2-inch squares. Place a small amount (about ½ tsp) of filling in the center of each square. Fold into a triangle, pressing the edges tightly, then pinch two corners to create a hat-like dumpling shape.

  • Simmer the Soup

    Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot. Add minced garlic and season with salt. Gently drop dumplings into the boiling broth. Simmer for 8–10 minutes or until dumplings float and are fully cooked.

  • Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs like mint or cilantro. Optionally, add a splash of vinegar or squeeze of lemon juice.

Nutritions

Notes:

 

  • Values vary depending on the meat type (lamb vs. lean beef), whether homemade broth is used, and dumpling size.

  • Using vegetable broth or lean meat can reduce fat and sodium levels.

  • Adding herbs (mint, dill) boosts micronutrients like vitamin K and antioxidants.
