Játrové knedlíky (Liver Dumplings)

Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken liver
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 medium onion
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions

1. 1

   Clean the chicken liver by removing any connective tissue and rinsing under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped medium onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the cleaned chicken liver to the skillet with the onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the liver is browned but still slightly pink in the center. Remove from heat and let cool.

4. 4

   In a food processor, combine the sautéed liver and onions, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Transfer the liver mixture to a mixing bowl and gradually stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until well combined. The mixture should be thick but still pliable.

6. 6

   Bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat.

7. 7

   Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the dumpling mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and carefully drop them into the simmering broth. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

8. 8

   Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 15-20 minutes. They will float to the surface when done.

9. 9

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the broth and place them on a plate.

10. 10

    Serve the játrové knedlíky warm, drizzled with some of the broth or with a rich sauce of your choice.
