Ingredients

  • 250 g low‑fat quark
  • 2 Eggs
  • Salt
  • 70 g whole wheat flour (5 tbsp)
  • 60 g whole grain semolina (3 tbsp)
  • 0.5 Organic lemon
  • 200 g ripe strawberries
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • cinnamon (preferably Ceylon cinnamon)
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tsp Rapeseed oil
  • 20 g whole‑grain breadcrumbs (2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Whisk quark and eggs in a bowl until smooth. Gradually fold in a pinch of salt, flour, and semolina. Let the mixture rest briefly.

  2. 2.

    Wash half a lemon, dry it, grate some zest with a fine grater.

  3. 3.

    Clean, wash, and roughly chop strawberries; place them in a tall container. Add grated lemon zest, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon, then blend into a smooth puree with an immersion blender.

  4. 4.

    Bring plenty of water to a boil in a large shallow pot, adding 1 tsp salt. Using a tablespoon, scoop small dumplings from the quark dough; they should fall off easily, otherwise add more semolina.

  5. 5.

    Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and immediately reduce heat. Cook on low for about 8 minutes until they rise to the surface.

  6. 6.

    Meanwhile melt butter and oil in a pan. Toast breadcrumbs until golden brown.

  7. 7.

    Lift dumplings with a slotted spoon, drain, and toss them in the buttery breadcrumbs. Serve with strawberry sauce.
