خطوة بخطوة

1. 1

   Place the cubed stale bread into a large bowl.

   حوالي 1 د

2. 2

   Warm the milk gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until it is lukewarm, but not hot.

   حوالي 2 د

3. 3

   Pour the warm milk over the bread cubes and let them soak for 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to soften completely.

   حوالي 15 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure the bread is fully saturated for a smooth knödel texture.

4. 4

   While the bread is soaking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat.

   حوالي 1 د

5. 5

   Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until translucent and softened, about 5-7 minutes.

   حوالي 7 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Do not brown the onions; just soften them.

6. 6

   Add the chopped parsley to the softened onions and cook for another minute.

   حوالي 1 د

7. 7

   Add the sautéed onion and parsley mixture to the bowl with the soaked bread.

8. 8

   Crack the eggs into the bowl, then add the flour, salt, and pepper.

   حوالي 1 د

9. 9

   Gently mix all ingredients together by hand until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the knödel tough.

   حوالي 2 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: The mixture should be moist but firm enough to form into balls. If too wet, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash more milk.

10. 10

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil).

    حوالي 5 د

    ملاحظة الطاهي: A gentle simmer prevents the knödel from breaking apart.

11. 11

    With wet hands, form the mixture into 8-10 uniform balls, about 5-6 cm in diameter.

    حوالي 5 د

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Wetting your hands prevents the mixture from sticking.

12. 12

    Carefully lower the knödel into the simmering water.

    حوالي 1 د

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.

13. 13

    Simmer the knödel for 15-20 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. You can test one by cutting it open to ensure it's cooked in the center.

    حوالي 20 د

14. 14

    Remove the cooked knödel with a slotted spoon and drain them well.

    Serve immediately as a side dish with gravy, roasted meats, or vegetable stews.
