- 1 medium head of green cabbage 2 lbs, sliced
- 2 onions sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon caraway seeds optional
- 1 cup broth vegetable or chicken
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Melt butter in a large pot. Add onions and cook until golden.
Add sliced cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cook until softened and lightly caramelized.
Add caraway seeds and broth. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt. Add flour gradually to make a sticky dough.
Drop small spoonfuls of dough into simmering salted water. Cook until they float, then remove.
Combine dumplings with the cabbage mixture. Toss gently to coat in butter and season to taste.
Serve warm with fresh parsley or a touch of butter on top.
