Instructions
Fry the onion in the fat over medium heat for approx. 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
Gently beat the eggs and then add the matzo, semolina, salt, and a pinch ground black pepper. Add the onion and gradually add enough stock (approx. 100 ml) until a smooth, pliable dough is formed. Cover and chill for 1 hour in the fridge.
Remove the mixture from the fridge and shape it into 10-12 dumplings. Bring the vegetable stock to the boil, add the vegetables and cook for approx. 2 minutes; then add the dumplings. Reduce heat and steep the dumplings in the simmering stock for approx. 12 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve in bowls.
