Instructions

  1. 1.

    Mix the cheese with quark, eggs, spelt flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg and season well. Bring 2 liters of salted water to a boil and use 2 tbsp to scoop dough into small dumplings; drop them into the hot water that is no longer boiling. Cook over gentle heat for about 5-10 minutes until the dumplings rise to the surface.

    Meanwhile wash, trim and peel the vegetables as needed, cut into strips or slices. Salt the eggplant slices well and let them sit in a bowl for 10 minutes. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a pan and sauté the bell pepper strips, stirring repeatedly, for 6-8 minutes; season with salt and pepper and keep warm. Sauté carrots in 1 tbsp oil until lightly browned, then set aside warm. Fry zucchini slices in 2 tbsp oil on both sides until golden brown and keep warm. Rinse eggplant slices under cold water, squeeze dry, then fry them in 3 tbsp hot oil on both sides until golden brown; let drain on kitchen paper. Arrange all vegetables on a preheated plate.

  3. 3.

    Whisk olive oil, honey, vinegar, chili, salt and pepper into a robust dressing and drizzle over the vegetables. Place the cheese dumplings on top and sprinkle with herb strips before serving immediately.
