Sunflower Dumplings

• 50 g sunflower seeds
• 40 g butter
• 1 egg
• 1 pinch of herb salt
• 1 pinch of nutmeg
• 1 1/2 l vegetable broth

Preparation

An excellent accompaniment to steamed vegetables.

1. Toast & Chop: Lightly toast the sunflower seeds in a dry pan, stirring constantly. Let them cool in a bowl, then chop them coarsely.
2. Cream the base: Cream the butter until frothy, then stir in the egg.
3. Combine: Mix the spelt flakes, chopped sunflower seeds, and spices into the butter-egg mixture.
4. Cook: Using two teaspoons, shape the mixture into small dumplings and drop them into the boiling vegetable broth. Let them simmer/steep for 10 minutes.
5. Serve: Serve the dumplings (with some broth if desired) over your cooked vegetables. This dish pairs beautifully with toasted buttered bread.
