 | Primal Flourless, Potatoeless DumplingsI love to cook Czech dishes, but a staple of Czech cuisine is the dumpling. Through some experimentation I’ve managed to finagle a dumpling recipe that suits a primal lifestyle! Gluten-free, potato and grain-free – but amazingly similar in taste and texture to a bread or potato dumpling – just a bit sweeter (due to almonds). |
Ingredients
| 2 cups almond meal 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened) 2 eggs dash salt 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional) parsley (optional) |
Directions
1.Mix all ingredients, you want to form a dough which is not wet and sticky but holds together when balled but is otherwise more on the dry side. Add more almond meal or almond milk as needed.
2. Heat a pot of boiling water to a low, rolling boil.
3. Form balls of the dough into logs about 5-6 inches long and 1-2” wide. Transfer the shaped dough into boiling water and boil for a few minutes – they will float to the top. You don’t want to leave them in the water too long or they will start to dissolve.
4. Remove cooked dough with tongs, careful to support it. Let them drip then transfer to a plate. Cut into slices immediately. The inside should have a bread-like (more dry) texture after the slice has sat for a minute or two.
