Semolina Dumplings (with Roasted Hazelnuts)

These little semolina dumplings like to swim in soups with lots of flavor – but not enough filling carbohydrates. You can add them to any soup, savory or sweet. In this recipe, the dumplings are slightly sweetened and have a layer of roasted hazelnuts, which is super tasty and gives the soft dumplings a satisfying bite. You can also eat them solo as little dessert snacks!

Ingredients for making Semolina Dumplings:

• Semolina
• Oat milk
• Sugar
• Potato starch
• Vanilla sugar
• Vegan butter substitute
• Hazelnuts

How to make Semolina Dumplings with Roasted Hazelnuts:

First, pour the oat milk into a saucepan and add the sugar and vanilla sugar. Bring the milk to a boil while stirring, then add the semolina. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to separate at the sides of the pan. Now, add the knob of vegan butter substitute and stir until it has completely dissolved. Finally, add the potato starch, stir it in evenly. It thickens the mixture so that we can form dumplings once it has cooled.

Once the temperature is comfortable for your hands, take a heaped teaspoon of the mixture on the palm of your hand and roll the semolina dumplings. If it gets too sticky, you can moisten the palm of your hand a little with cold water. I prefer to make the semolina dumplings smaller so that they are a mouthful and fit on the tablespoon together with the soup; you can, of course, also make them bigger.

Roasted Hazelnut Layer:

First, we roast the whole hazelnuts in a pan to loosen the skin. After that, put all the nuts in a kitchen towel and rub them together. Most of the skin will stick to the towel. Now, place the nuts on a chopping board and chop them into small pieces (You can also buy ready-chopped nuts if you want to make this quicker – but fresh roasted are more delicious).

Next, put all the nuts back into the pan, roast them again, and then sprinkle the 1.5 tsp sugar over them for a light caramelization. Now, we take our semolina balls and roll them through the hazelnuts, then roll the layer of nuts between the palms of our hands, so they stick nicely to the dumplings.
